truly demonstrated over recent years, with a lot of sound groundwork culminating in an amazing range of established, proven morphs. But there are still countless opportunities for combinations out there, and a solid group of passionate breeders keen to create them. What will the White Northern albino look like? Or the melanistic Anery? Triple combinations offer yet another level again. There are also other morphs being worked on in the hobby, with Gabe Otter’s ‘Blonde’ project gathering pace and the increased incidence of anomalies such as the ‘Calico’ blue-tongue. In my opinion, Blotched Blue-tongues can also go very close to matching the exploits of their cousins and offer something completely different again for bluey lovers. A whole lot will play out over the next few breeding seasons, and I am really excited to be a part of it! Below: the ‘Alabaster’ mirrors the amazing Black Eyed Leucistic Ball Python.
