At long last, the genetic shed test results from Asteria, my female black head 66% het genetic stripe, 50% het hypo came back from @raregeneticsinc. I screamed with joy when I read that she is 100% het for both genetic stripe and hypo. I had purchased a male genetic stripe that is 100% het hypo and 100% het VPI axanthic to prove her out as I'd bought her before either hypo or genetic stripe testing had been announced but as soon as both tests were available I sent them to prove her out now while they're both still growing up to breeding age and size.

And I'm pretty sure VPI axanthic testing will be available long before these two are breeding age and weight and babies are hatched, so they'll be able to prove out the 50% hets with the babies' first sheds!

Rare Genetics, Inc., genetic testing is *the* game changer!

It's only fitting that on World Snake Day, I get 3 new snakes.

Pastel Chocolate 50% het clown/hypo female.

Pastel Leopard 100% het black axanthic female.

Pastel 100% het black axanthic male.

The chocolate is named Ixcacao (the Mayan Goddess of Chocolate).

Male het black ax is Rahu (Hindu celestial deity of darkness and eclipse).

Female het black ax is Ratri (Hindu goddess of night).

Gaia (normal female) and Shango (cinnamon pastel pinstripe aka pewterblast) gave us 7 beautiful eggs averaging 100 grams each and everyone lit up like a NYC roadmap when candled. Due date is 9/11/23 for these beauties! #ballpython #breeding #cinnamon #pewterblast
