Your Questions Answered
How does the Candy gene affect the Pastel's appearance?
The Candy gene works alongside Pastel to reduce black pigment and sharpen pattern edges. The result is a cleaner, more defined pattern with richer, more saturated colors compared to a standard Pastel, giving it the "Candy" namesake.
What is the typical adult size and disposition?
Adults typically reach 3 to 5 feet. This morph consistently displays the Ball Python's renowned docile nature. With regular, gentle handling, they become very tractable and are known for being a reliable, low-stress species to work with.
Is this animal ready for breeding?
This is a juvenile animal and not yet sexually mature. Ball Pythons generally reach breeding size and maturity between 18 months and 3 years of age, depending on feeding regimen and growth rate. This animal represents a genetic investment for future projects.
