white tiger looking spider ball

[viper94bite]

Ok anyone that has seen the picture of all the different spider ball combinations might now what i'm talking about. The one on the right hand side that is basically a spider ball that is all white, but black in the webbing. Looks like a white tiger kind of. How would one produce one of those, where can i find info on them and what are they called?
thanks

Are you talking about this one?

That would be an Axanthic Killer Bee. It's a combo of super pastel, spider, and axanthic. To make one, you would have to have a bumble-bee het for axanthic and a pastel het for axanthic. It's a project several years in the making. I got to see them RIGHT after they hatched when they were still pink this year at Daytona, then again at Tinley when they had put some size on.

Good luck with that one.

	Heterozygous Heterozygous - the animal carries the gene for a genetic trait but does not outwardly demonstrate the trait. Example: A boa that is het for albino looks normal but carries the albino gene. When it is bred to another het for albino boa or an albino boa, a percentage of the offspring will be albino.

so many morphs.... whats wrong with a pretty, normal colored ball?

	Morph A morph is a color or pattern variation that is proven to be genetic. Common morphs include albino, anerythristic, gentically striped, Hypomelanistic, and many others. Morphs also include combinations of simple traits such as "Sunglow" which is Albino and Hypomelanistic. These traits may be recessive traits, co-dominant traits, dominant traits, or created through selective breeding (ie Pastel).

Bumblebee 100% het for Axanthic male - $25,000
Pastel 100% Het Axanthic Female - $8,500
Producing a black and white spider ball - Priceless.

I love the arbitrary outrageous prices. There is not a Ball Python on the planet worth more than $100.
