History

"The original Dark Viking was imported from Togo. To begin with Rolf named it Dark Togo because it was dark and she came from Togo. In 2013, Rolf paired the female to a YB male and he reproduced the gene plus some with YB in it.

He then grew a Dark Viking Yellow belly male up and put her back to the mother. From that he hit 1.1 Super Dark Viking Yellowbelly. From that be started to make some combos but then decided to cut Ball Pythons from his collection to focus on other things.

He sold the project with all snakes to Morten Beck Wolff. He changed the name to Dark Viking and made a lot of other combos as well. He dropped the ball python game and sold it to Steffan Bosak (No limit of ball pythons) who then decided to sell it to me. (Red Beard Exotics)

Only a few snakes have been sold - 1 in the United States and 2 to other Danes. The rest are with me.

Appearance

Head

Most of them have a headstamp which transfers to combos.

Body

Single gene is a bit darker than a wildtype with some strange alien heads, which get much cooler in combos. In general, it makes great contrast between dark and light areas, with black areas are getting darker the bigger they get.
