Albino
This is the morph that started it all for Ball Pythons.

Calico
I acquired this incredible Male Calico from Dan Wolfe. Dan has been working with the Flora & Fauna line of Calico which are noted for their deep and rich coloration. I am really looking forward to plugging this bad boy into some of my projects.

Desert
Stan Chiras one of the two original breeders involved with the Desert Project had this incredible girl available at the 2007 Daytona show. I knew as soon as I saw her I wanted in on the project. I also knew if they proved to be Co-Dom a Female would be invaluable in producing the Super. I am giving her plenty of time to develop and look forward to breeding her hopefully to a Desert Male in 2011. For more information and history of the Desert click this Link.

Enchi
Enchi's are one of those morphs that just don't stand out on their own but in combos can be truly outstanding. When a friend of mine George Sampson posted a picture of this guy on one of the Forums I frequent I knew I had to have him. As you can see he is developing quite nicely and I can't wait to plug him into some Mojave's and some Lesser's among other things.

Fire
I acquired this incredible Male Fire from Dan Wolfe. Dan produced him from a very light Female with strong blushing bred to an exceptional Male Fire he obtained from Brad Armitage. The Brad Armitage line of Fires are noted for their incredible beauty and color. Dan admitted to me at the time of purchase that it was the nicest one he had produced or even seen for that matter. I couldn’t agree more. He has been a busy boy the 2010 breeding season so I am looking forward to seeing his offspring.

Granite Yellow Belly
There are so many new exciting projects and combos that are utilizing the various Granite genes that when Diana (Lunar Boids) from the one of the Forums I frequent offered this girl up for sale I jumped on it. She has the added bonus of having the Yellow Belly gene and with all of the Superstripe stuff I am working with it is going to be great to work her into that project in a couple of years.

Hidden Gene Woma Yellow Belly
When I was offered this project by Matt Lerer all I could say was yes. With any luck she will be up to size for the 2011 season. I can't wait. The pictures are in chronological order so you can see how they develop. You also want to check out the eye color, it is a crazy looking bluish gray.

Lace Black Back (Green Pastel)
Lace Black Backs are a typical black backed animal with Cinnamon type color. They were originally proven to be dominant and then co-dominant by Amir Soleymani. Amir has described the Super as an animal similar to the Super Lori ball. These were originally called Green Pastel's and is how they are referred to over in Europe. The Super over there is called a Gargoyle. Having seen a picture of the Gargoyle I may have to pick up a Male when this girl gets up in size. After I produce a Super or two with the extreme blushing in the Black Back portion of these I think breeding them to a Calico might be just the ticket.

Lemonback
I was introduced to this new morph at the 2009 National Reptile Breeders Expo by Chad Brown from Pro Exotics. He had a few of them on display and he also an incredible looking Lemonback/Desert cross that sold me on them right away. He told me that he had eggs incubating from a Lemonback to Lemonback breeding and would know very soon if there was a Super or not. I took a chance on a pair of them and was rewarded highly when he contacted me in September to tell me that the pairing had hatched out a pure white (Pied White) black-eyed Leucistic. They sort of look like a cross between a Fire (in color and some what in the blushing) and a Vanilla (in the head markings that all Fire's lack), but if you see them in person it easy to tell they are a completely different morph from either of them. Time will tell if they will always produce such exceptionally pure white offspring but it is going to be a fun project either way. The first five pictures are of the Male and the next five are of the Female.

Lesser
These also go by the name Lesser Platinum. Ralph Davis put these on the Super Star map and no collection is complete without a few of them. Matt Lerer posted a picture of the Male on one of the Forums and I contacted him about him. He already had a very nice Black Back Male so I was lucky to get this outrageous looking animal. The first five pictures are of the Male I received from Matt and the next five are of a Female I produced in 2009.

Mojave
The Mojave was first introduced by The Snake Keeper back in 2000 and that is the line I decided to work with in 2004. I picked my Male because of the light green colored blushing he had as a baby but as he grew the blushing turned an even more beautiful green color. Luckily he passes the same coloring onto his offspring. The first two pictures are of the Male and the rest are of two Females I produced in 2008.

Pastel Mojave
The Graziani Pastel and the Mojave are another combo that really mix it up well. With the regular blushing of the Pastel and the added green colored blushing of my Mojaves I have produced these two beauties. The first five pictures are of one of the Female I produced in 2008 and the second five are of another even nicer looking Female I produced in the same clutch. Once again these pictures are in chronological order from Hatchling to Sub-Adult and then full Adult coloring.

Pastel Yellow Belly
The Graziani Pastel and the Yellow Belly gene really mix it up beautifully. With the regular blushing of the Pastel and the added darker blushing of the Yellow Belly I have produced these stunners. The first five pictures are of a Female I produced in 2007 and the second five are of another Female produced in 2008.

Pied
If you really want to impress someone that is not into snakes just show them a Pied. Pieds are without a doubt the most spectacular morph to the average person, even more so than an Albino. Something about a pure white snake with just enough pattern to make it interesting is really a showstopper. Some breeders will tell you that they like low white Pieds better than high white ones but for some reason I don’t really believe them. LOL High whites are where it’s at and the line I am working with throws beautiful ones. The following pictures are of ones that I produced from a pair of Hets I purchased in 2002. The last two pictures are of a really cool looking Male I produced early in 2010. Check out the markings on this bad boy.

Pinstripe
No collection is complete without a Pinstripe and I was lucky enough to get this beautiful girl from Sean at EBN in 2006. Once again these pictures are in chronological order with the first two being of her as a Hatchling to the third one as a Sub-Adult and then the last two with full Adult coloring.

Silver Bullet (Graziani Line)
The Silver Bullet is a Super Cinnamon/Pastel (Homozygous Cinnamon Heterozygous Pastel). I produced him here from a Graziani line Pewter to a Graziani line Cinnamon breeding. As you can see from the pictures the Graziani line of Cinnamons do not have the nose problems some of the other lines have. The pictures are in chronological order so you can see how they develop from a silverish light brown color the day he hatched to the dark brown color of him as an adult.

Specter
These also go by the name Het Superstripe. Ever since Jared Horenstein produced the first Superstripe I knew I wanted them. The Specter is a subtle morph that when bred to the Yellow Belly produces the Superstripe. There is also reported to be a Super Specter and hopefully that will be proven soon. The first five pictures are of the Male I received from Mark Haas and the next four are of a Female I produced in 2009. Further down the page is a Superstripe I produced by breeding the male Specter to a Pastel Yellow Belly.

Spiders
The spider Ball is one of them that got me interested in Ball Pythons in the first place and is a must have in every collection. The following pictures are of my Female. The pictures are in chronological order so you can see how she developed. The last three pictures show how incredible looking she is as an adult.

Super Pastel
The Graziani Pastel makes some of the best Super's you are ever going to see. The first three pictures are of a Male I produced in 2005 the next three are of a Female I produced in 2007 and the next four are of an absolutely incredible Female I produced in 2008. She is by far the best looking Super Pastel I have ever seen and she makes "Super Duper's" (which are also Graziani Line) look like regular Pastels.

Super Pastel Yellow Belly
The Graziani Pastel and the Yellow Belly gene really mix it up beautifully. Add the Super Pastel into the mix and you have power houses like these. The first four pictures are of a Male I produced in 2008 and the rest are of a coupe of Males I produced in 2009.

Sterling
The Sterling is a Super Pastel/Cinnamon (Homozygous Pastel Heterozygous Cinnamon). It is one of my favorites morphs and it generates many ooh's and ah's when someone sees it for the first time. The first five pictures are of my Breeder Male. They show the transformation from a silver and pink hatchling, to a more colorful sub-adult and finally to the silver topped cream color sided adult they become. The next four pictures are of a few different Sterling's that I have produced of varying ages.

Superstripe
What can I say about these except hatching out this guy was the absolute highlight of my 2009 season. I love them and I can't wait to hatch out more of them.
