This
morph is lacking dorsal pattern, making it similar to
a black back ball python. However, it appears that this
morph is also lacking a type of dark pigment. This morph
is lacking black and is only shades of brown and tan.
The belly is patternless.
This mutation is genetic. Future breedings will determine
if trait is dominant or co-dominant. What would a super
brown back look like?
The brown
back hatchlings presently look like black backs but
it appears to me that there is some fading waiting to
come through in the dark areas on their back. Their
color is off too; the side pattern is a different shade
of brown than that of their normal siblings. At this
point, I think they will mature to look like dad so
I am calling them brown backs.
I
can't wait to breed this mutation into other morphs!
It will be nice to see how these animals mature.
