Possible World First Obsidian Pied

Genetics: Blackhead + Super Mahogany (Suma) + Piebald

Produced in South Korea in 2026.

This snake was produced from my breeding project and appears to be the first publicly documented Obsidian Pied (Blackhead Suma Pied).

I would like to name this combination “Orca”, inspired by its striking black-and-white coloration reminiscent of an orca.

Breeder: Reptile Farm
Animal ID: 26-0720#3
Hatch Date: 2026 July 20

Full breeding records, parent information, clutch photos, hatch photos, and post-shed photos are available for documentation.

If anyone is aware of an earlier documented production of this exact genetic combination, I would appreciate the information.

This is absolutely gorgeous and I LOVE it as an alternative to 8-ball complex pieds. Can’t wait to see how it grows up.

Beautiful snake, and I love the name “orca” for the combo, very fitting.

It’s a cute name. I still just find listing the genetics to be best practice. Maybe I’m just tired of combo names or clout chasing worlds firsts. :laughing:
I would assume that World of Ball Pythons would be the site to poke at that for because updates for MorphMarket on that sort of thing seems slow as of late.

There’s someone on Instagram who hasn’t released the results of a shed test yet. They have a better looking black and white animal as far as coloration. But it does have single gene black pastel or cinnamon based on the facial structure. Breeder has said it isn’t a super.
I believe it’s a super mahogany blackhead cinnamon het pied. But again… No genetics listed yet.

Agree with listing genetics as best practice, but if you tack on the cool combo name AFTER the actual genetics that’s good with me :laughing:

Should I describe the genetic traits of that morph? If you could provide a brief example for reference, I will write it up accordingly. Thank you! :slight_smile:

I had actually intended to contact WOBS first, but it seems they aren’t operating anymore… (the website is down :frowning: ). Still, thank you for the advice! :slight_smile:

You did it! You put the genetics there. I just think it’s important to list genetics (blackhead super mahogany pied) before/with the morph “combo” name (obsidian/orca?) so that folks don’t have to go looking to figure out what morphs are actually there. :slight_smile:
