Your Questions Answered

While Ball Pythons are generally excellent beginner snakes, this specific animal is priced and targeted toward keepers with some experience, particularly those interested in genetics and breeding. Its value is in its genetic potential.
How does the Orange Dream gene affect offspring?
The Orange Dream is a co-dominant gene. Breeding this male to a normal female will statistically produce 50% Orange Dream offspring. Paired with other co-dominant genes like Pastel or Mojave, it creates stunning designer combos.
