Join waitlist →Two world-first recessive gene morphs discovered right here in our ball python breeding programme — the Tornado and the Sandstorm. Born from a single clutch in 2017. No other ball python breeder in the world holds these genes.
In 2017 two triple het siblings — het for Albino, Pied & Toffee — were paired for the first time, producing a 5 egg clutch. Two of those hatchlings looked completely unlike anything we'd seen. One became the Tornado. A brand new recessive gene, proved out and unique to our line. Select het combos and two Tornado females were released to Justin at KINOVA in late 2022 — we are now breeding again for our 2026 waiting lists.
Born from the same historic 2017 clutch as the Tornado, the Sandstorm is the second world-first recessive gene discovered in our collection. Warm, bleached golden tones unlike anything in the hobby. Now back in production — join the non-committal waiting list to be first in line when animals become available.
