This
new mutation marks the fourth designer ball python mutation to
be produced in captivity. The Caramel Glow is the product of breeding
our caramel albino to an orange ghost to make double hets; we
then bred the hets together to produce this single animal. We
fortuitously hit the 1 in 16 odds to hatch out this new designer.
At first I was unsure that I had done it…I thought that
I might have just a very pale Caramel Albino. It looked different,
however, baby ball pythons can change after their first few sheds.
Now after a year of shedding & growing, this snake is magnificent.
Much paler than the Caramels, the lavender/purple in this animal
is very obvious & manifests itself in a soft pastel shade.
One distinguishing characteristic of the Caramel Glow is her ruby
red eyes. As Caramels and Ghosts grow they lighten and gain their
color.
