Updates On My 0.1 Butter Ball Python

Its been two almost three years since I acquired my Butter Morph Ball Python. Butter Morph is a co-dominant mutation a close related to lesser ball python when compared their color to each other, I myself sometimes confuse by that two morph. If two butter breed together. A white color Snakes(super Butter or Blue Eyes Leucistic) will be produce. This Butter Ball python of mine is a slow eater female that only feed mice as yearling, Yet till now she still only feed smaller mice and occasionally dwarf hamster.

Currently Weight 1116grams as at

This butter Female had 50/50 chance being breed as she still underweight to be breed, although minimum weight for breeding Ball python female is 1.2kg suggested by some pro breeder. which she still lack 84grams to reach 1.2kg, But yet I will wait her to weight as heavy as possible as breeding season still not long way from over, most probably if she reach 1.4kg to 1.5kg that if she do not fast, then will be trying to breed her. My target is to breed her with 1.0 Mojave to get that clean Blue eyes lucy, a white color snakes.

On the same day, My pied just shed so I just offer her mice to eat, I did not wait for her to poo after shed as I know she wont poo as she poo before she was on shedding mode.

Just Ball python

Pied Ball python is one of the must keep morph Ball python for Ball python Hobbyist. Its is proven genetic recessive by Peter Kahl Reptiles. Pied Ball python are among the most impressive and coolest looking ever ball python. Whether there are Low, medium or high, their are unique and beautiful.

Recessive Genetic Mutation

0.1 Pied

1.0 Pied

In many years, Pied had been crossed with many morph. Few of many morph that really make pied the most impressive morph is when It was cross with Lavender. Lavender Pied(Dreamsicle). One of the rarest morph existed in the world now. The Dreamsicle (lavender-albino piebald) would probably be the most expensive ball morph that will hold its value for a long time, but when a snake like that is so rare and so prized you probably won't see an affordable one any time soon. Another rarest Morph using pied is to cross with Axanthic morph to create Axanthic Pied (lightning Pied). I'm sure breeder all over the world are now trying their best to create some other rarest morph using this pied Ball python.

Python Brongersmai( Malayan Blood Python)

Malayan Blood Python had slowly increasing their popularity among reptiles hobbyist and keeper. Its a non Venomous snakes that can be found in peninsula Malaysia. Not only they are beautiful even as a normal morph. With now designer blood python morph are created too every years making it more and more beautiful and now quite popular among Snakes keeper.

Busy busy busy

Busy day for Ball python . They are now in their breeding season, My theory that the raining nowdays had jump start their breeding season early due to the cold weather in here recently. I know it seem early to breed them, Well snakes also got needs. There are 3 female and 2 male that breeding at moment, Firstly 0.1 Spider Morph will be breed with by two male. Pastel and Mojave. Will try to get either Bumble bee or Mojave Spider. Secondly My 0.1 Bumble bee, That also I will be using two male. Pastel and Mojave, So I'm looking into getting either Killer Bee or Mojave Bumble Bee. Thirdly 0.1 Mojave. Be breeding her only with 1.0 Mojave. This I'm looking into getting a super Mojave. Droooollll

Still my normal, reduced pattern, pastel and butter female I haven't try and mate them yet. I'm still looking into possibilities what I might breed them with which morphs. My 0.1 pastel I might breed with 1.0 lesser that will be loan to me by a friend, My 0.1 Albino Is a no go for this season as she been fasting for the last two months. Don't think she can make it, Where as normal female will wait for her to gain more weight then I will decide either using her to make a recessive or co dominant. Reduced pattern still I'm not sure. Maybe make more Mojave. Butter still have to gain more weight as she been losing 100 over grams. due to whatever reason that I don't know. So Butter is 50/50 whether she can make it in time although end of breeding season is still long way.
I don't really care if this season They don't produce eggs, although I might be disappointed but if they do lays then that will be really really great accomplished in my Ball python Snakes Keeping. In the mean time I will keep pairing them till female uninterested anymore.

Updates on my Albino Ball Python after 3 years

Ball python is one of my favorites among all the python snakes. There are docile and easily tame python. This Albino Ball python is the 1st ever Ball python morph in my collection. He is an male Albino Morph of an ball python. I acquired him in 07/08. He was approximately about 100grams when he first landed In Brunei and most probably the first ball python morph reach to Brunei. I can tell you that, I waited probably 6 months for this fellow to arrived. I was kinda almost giving up on him as I though he will never actually reach Brunei after a long time period.

Look How he grown

1.3kg as at 3rd October 2010

Albino Ball python Morph was first produces and proven recessive genetics gene in 1992 by Bob Clark Reptiles. Yet It still one of the favorites mutation among the ball python collector. The price of albino Ball python had drop since and since that few Number of Albino Ball python make way to Brunei reptiles collector now and from my knowledge I believe there are between 5 to 7 heads of albino ball python are now in Brunei with privates reptiles collector. They might be more but who know as It become affordable now to own one.
