Ball Python Clutch 05-01 -"Het Reduced"

Sire: BamBam (03RPM) This fantastic reduced pattern male has it all.  Broken eye stripe, clear belly, greatly reduced black banded pattern, and the "canvas" texture.  It now appears that this line of reduced patterns is simple recessive.  When bred to an '02 female that is nearly identical to him, all of the babies exhibited the reduced pattern phenotype!.

Dam: LAF-03 This adult female was purchased from Ben Siegel Reptiles in 5 / 02.  The snake was a long term pet that was no longer wanted and returned to the store.  A really pretty, really big girl.  Genetics are assumed to be normal.  Is something hiding in there?  One can hope, right?
