About
The Genetic Stripe Ball Python is a recessive mutation that alters both color and pattern. Genetic Stripes have a thick dorsal stripe down the entire length of their body. This dorsal stripe can range from one complete stripe or multiple broken-up stripes.
History
The original and only line of G-Stripe ball python was imported by Bob Clark Reptiles, who also produced the first visual G-Stripe babies. Vida Preciosa International produced a clutch later the same year from hets they had purchased from Bob.
