My vote is for Ash. That pattern and color combo is incredible. But Mushu's arrowhead head stamp gave him some tough competition in my book.

they both have interesting genetics - i’m just learning about all this but Mushu is hypo het granite and Ash is visual granite het GC caramel het Ultramel - am really excited to see how all this will come together in pairings �� as far as size tho, i tots think Ash will smoke Mushu lol i am hoping to eventually produce some granite caramels - i think that would be super cute

The pattern is called “reticulated” apparently as seen in Giraffes and Reticulated Pythons etc


reticulated
/rɪˈtɪkjʊleɪtɪd/

adjective

constructed, arranged, or marked like a net or network.

"a finely reticulated pattern"

.. “having a pattern of interlacing lines forming a net or web.”

do you have a link on this? or perhaps a burm pattern guide? originally just assumed her pattern was normal and it was just her coloration was abnormal because of the albinism

I think the "reticulated" pattern is normal for a reticulated python.
