    This girl should be able to mate this coming winter (hopefully) and produce me some very nice and expensive of-springs ;)

    Since I am mating then with "het for piebald" meaning other sankes display no visible white pattern like this one but have all of the genes. My chances of have another snake like this is 20-30%. But one snake that displays the white would be $1200-2000 depending on the amount of white color. Others with the genes but no visual would be around 400-600. I got 2 females and one male so hopefully Ill get at least 2 white onces. Just gotta share the profits with my friend because we went halfzys on this.

    Wow that's really expensive, but they are pretty cool looking.

    Do you have a mate lined up? My LFS breeds ball python morps, and I think they have a couple piebalds. Might be better to get a couple actual piebalds than a bunch of 100%hets.

    I know its better to breed with a piebald or another morph but we ran out of money and had to buy 100% hets. I am ok with it, ether way we should make our money back, plus I love snakes :)

    So yeah I got another female het and a male het. Didnt take their pics cause they look like regular ball pythons so I see no point.

    That makes my 1 bed room condo in to a mini zoo: 65g saltwater tank, Russian turtuise, cat, 3 snakes. lol!

    Save up enough money from selling babies and you can buy another piebald :) then you'll really be in good shape.

    Screw a career and college...I'll be breeding ball pythons if anyone needs one :lol:
