Hi white Pied female from 2021 that has the calico look to it. I have had two pieds make this transition starting between 18-24 months. It is very interesting to say the least and it adds another element to all these pied projects.

Sneak peek of the hypo Ultramel

Hypo Burmese pythons 66% het Ultramel. Nothing from the Ultramel clutch is for sale at this time.

Here are some Ivory Burmese pythons that have a 25% chance of being Ultramel. If they are not Ultramel, they are still 66% het Ultramel. Nothing from the Ultramel clutch is for sale at this time.

A few normals 66% possible het Ultramel and possible het GC Caramel Green Granite Albino. I love the way these normals look! Nothing from the Ultramel clutch is for sale at this time.

I am definitely obsessed with this little Ultramel Burmese python male from 2024. I can't wait for him to grow!

This 2024 season wasn't a huge season for me as far as number of clutches go, but it did end up being my most exciting seasons in years! In fact, It could be my favorite season ever. If you follow my page you would probably suspect I am talking about the Caramel Pieds, Granite Pieds, or the Caramel Pied Green that I made this season. Those are great, and I'm stoked to have made them as well, but the highlight of this season by far for me is something I haven't even shared yet. Which is.... I have finally reproduced an Ultramel Burmese Python!
I have been obsessed with the Ultramel for years. The first one was reproduced in 2010 by Tom Reagan and she died in 2015 in a freak tornado along with her only hypo son. So this line has been extinct for the last 9 years! Almost nothing has been available from the Ultramel line as far as hets go either. I was able to finally reproduce this line from a Hypo male 50% het Ultramel that I got in 2013, and the information was mixed to say the least that the hets I got were really 50% het Ultramel. So, to finally bring the Ultramel back to existence after all this time with "iffy" possible hets bred back to offspring from those same possible hets is amazing.
While beating the odds definitely makes this moment that much sweeter, the much more exciting part is that the Ultramel isn't "just another Caramel line". At least I don't think so anyway. There is a lot to still be determined as there has only been one other one reproduced in the last 20 years. The one produced in 2010 ended up have a darker reddish/brown pattern as she became an adult versus the lighter more typical Caramel color that the other lines have. So this could lead to some other very interesting morph combinations in the future if this variation holds true within Ultramel line as a whole. When I think of what an Ultramel Pied, or Ultramel Labyrinth, Ultramel Champagne could look like I really get excited! The potential for almost anything combined with Ultramel is HUGE!
Anyway. I think I have rambled on enough. I will be posting updates as things progress with my little Ultramel. For now, here are some pics of Tom Reagan's Ultramel including a baby photo of his from 2010. I attached a few pictures of my new 2024 baby Ultramel as well in different lighting. Please click on the photos and read the captions for specific details.

I just added this Caramel Pied male 66% het Granite Green to morphmarket!

Some nice Pied Caramels and other pied combos hatching.

I am loving this GC/Clark line Caramel Pied!

Pied Granite het Albino 66% het Caramel 50% het Green male is looking amazing.

This girl will HOPEFULLY be ready to go next season. She is a Hypo het GC Caramel Labyrinth Granite 50% het Green.

This Pied Green 66% het GC Caramel Granite Burmese Python was definitely a favorite of mine from last season. Hopefully I end up with a couple more this year!

This girl is a high white Pied I hatched out in 2021. She about 8 months ago she started losing some of the pigment in her mom white areas. She seems to get a little bit better ever shed. She is definitely one of my favorites!

Loving this combo!
