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. . |
