Here’s a great photo of the Spider Highway female I hatched from 2013 Clutch #20. Its simply amazing how the Spider tricked up the Highway pattern. So much left to be done with the Gravel gene (key to the Highway), the combos we will see from this mutation in the future will just be crazy.
By: Justin Kobylka – Feb 12, 2014 Volumes could be written about Ball Python feeding habits and their finicky ways… for a new keeper, the long feeding breaks they sometimes take can be quite unsettling. It is really hard for people who eat 3 meals a day to relate to an animal who may go…
These two girls just had their first sheds and are just fantastic! Both of these combos were JKR world first’s. Perhaps the best thing is that they will continue to brighten dramatically with age. Check out their cousins below… With every shed this girls will get brighter and brighter. Here are the same combos that…
This girl is one of my favorite holdbacks from 2013. I love how each mutation shows distinctly and adds to the total.

The Pastel Black Axanthic and Hypo Black Axanthic have put a bit of size on them now and they’re shaping up great! Both of these are JKR World Firsts, and also the very first combos ever produced with the Black Axanthic gene. This mutation has an exciting future! Pastel Black Axanthic (66% Het Hypo) Hypo…
@ World of Ball Pythons, thanks for the Mug!
