Patternless Children's Python

[Jonny]

Gday,

Had this little girl out today and decided to take some pics.
She was mated to a reduced pattern male and laid a clutch of 6 eggs last season. Two hatchlings are coming up nice and patternless as they shed.
When I had her on display at the Expo last year alot of people were asking if she was a baby olive

enjoy

Thats a nice patternless you have there Jonny,I really do like the look of "the baby Olives"
If you can post up some pics of the hatchlings for us to see.

I have a 15 month old stimmie, he was a year old when I got him. He has very little pattern on him, he's just a chocolate brown, and many people didn't believe he was a stimmie when they first saw him either. But he's got a very placid nature which I'm most pleased about. Your girl is very sleek and pretty....lucky you

They are gorgeous. Short-nosed mini olives, they are just like them, except they have pink tongues. The markings on their head, then nothing is very appealing. I like it.

Jonny that second photo of yours there is picture-perfect. What a lovely photo to have hanging up on the wall.

wow!! those are sexy!! i must buy a pattenless children!

Thanks for the comments.

Chewy posted the pic of her after she laid. He bred her for me

As for the genetics its hard to work out. The mother of mine was a reduced pattern X patternless male. The result was one patternless out of ten.

I crossed the resulting patternless with her brother which was a reduced pattern from the same clutch and got 2 out of six. I have talked to some others who breed patternless and they don't think it follows normal autosomal recessive genetic patterns.

I'm hoping that one of the patternless hatchlings is a male so I can grow it up and cross patternless to patternless and see what percentage of hatchlings turn out patternless. Just gotta get round to sexing them

I'll try and take some pics of the hatchlings in the next few days.

I've got an old female here from that line which looked more or less 'normal' as a hatchling. I'm putting a very small/young male patternless over her this season, as well as a nice normal male (simply because the 'normal male' is proven and I'm not sure if the young male is up to the job).

Hopefully I'll get some reduced pattern / patternless hatchies out of her/them.

If not, next season I should have a patternless girl up to size to go with that patternless male.

I'm not a childrens fan either but had the opportunity to see a patternless hatchy in the flesh yesterday and I have to agree, a gorgeous snake. Very cute miniature olive lookalike!

We have bred patternless to patternless for the last few years & all the offspring all are born with patterns but fade shed after shed.
She always lays 10 or 11 eggs & 100% hatch rate everytime.
She is already laying bellyup again.
We have sold ours in the reptile shop for $295.
I will have to check the hatchie room.
Im sure we still have some, must be 8 months old now.
