About
Mario is an incomplete dominant mutation founded by Sabala Serpents and Mike Wonka in 2012.
History
The Mario was discovered in 2012 from a “Normal” x Pastel clutch. Out of five eggs, two Marios, two Pastels, and a possible Mario Pastel hatched out. That 50/50 ratio led us to believe that one of the parents was carrying another gene. [2]
Appearance
Head
The head of the Mario Ball Python is easily recognisable by the “teeth” shape patterning along the heat pits and a headstamp that resembles a face.
Body
The body of the Mario Ball Python is covered in an extremely busy and bold pattern, with alien heads banding over the dorsal being a frequent occurrence, along with connected alien heads. The overall colouration is more orangey than a Normal Ball Python and with bolder blacks.
Belly
The Mario Ball Python usually expresses a dark line down the center of its belly scales.
Tail
The tail of the Mario Ball Python follows the same patterning as the rest of the body.
