Ultramel Ball Pythons
(Python regius)

We came across these spectacular Ball Pythons while strolling down the aisles of the 2006 National Reptile Breeders’ Expo in Daytona, Florida. Scanning table to table scouting for the perfect project we turned a corner and were literally stopped “dead in our tracks” as these animals came into view. These “show stopper” hatchlings were offered as the first US imports of a new line of “African” Caramel Albinos. Long story short…they came to us a few short months later and we have been producing flawless clutches of Ultramel and heterozygous Ultramel hatchlings since early 2007.

In October 2008 we were honored to sell our first homozygous females (followed by 2009 homozygous males) to the Barkers at VPI. Dave and Tracy have subsequently dubbed these animals as Ultramels in light of the recent developments associated with the recognition of the Ultramel Morph in Europe and the US. We graciously follow their expertise and lead in classifying these remarkable animals as Ultramels. As we crossed the Utramel genetics into our existing Ball Python Morph gene pool early on, we look forward to seeing interesting results in the near future. .

Clown Ball Pythons
(Python regius)

One of our favorite Ball Python morphs is the Clown. Our colony consists of a VPI Clown male, produced by John Manser and 100% Het. Clown females (VPI line) from Justin Kobylka. We anticipate breeding our Clown male to a variety of females in the 2008 season.

Pastel Ball Pythons
(Python regius)

Currently, the Pastels are the only Co-dominant morph of Ball Pythons were are working with. Our intention is utilize this Co-dominant trait in our Caramel, Clown and Piebald breeding programs. Our lines consist of the Blonde Pastel line (developed by Matt Turner) and the Graziani Pastel bloodline.

Piebald Ball Pythons
(Python regius)

One of the most dramatic, naturally occurring, color and pattern morphs (seen in any snake in our opinion) is the Piebald morph. Every Piebald Ball Python has it own unique pattern of unevenly distributed milky white patches that appear to be "air brushed" on to their natural pattern and coloration. Some specimens of Piebald have more white than others. The end members of this range have been described as "high white" and "low white". Our Pied group consists of a "medium white" male and a "low white" female. We also have 100% Het. Pied females to add to the mix. We hope to breed our Pieds in 2008.
