Checkout the panda Pied...wow

First off, I would like to say that I think this is a very unique animal and I like it a lot.

However, it is my understanding that true pieds have normal coloration on their heads or whatever they may be homo for. This looks like a leucistic to me with I guess I would say a type of paradoxing. The term Panda Pied sounds more like a marketing scheme than anything else to me. I would like to know what the specific genetics of the parents are and what other types of offspring were produced from them. Without this information, I would be hesitant to claim what it was (panda pied) other than what looks like which to me looks more like a type of paradox leucistic. And one has to question why someone would sell such a rare animal if it's genetics were proven as a heritable trait other than just some one-off mutation. $18,000 might sound like a lot of money upfront for a single animal, but if this animal carried heritable genetics that could reproduce more, then $18,000 would be a small amount of money in lieu of the money one could garner over a clutch of these. So why sell it?

Now I'd like to touch on this...

Since when is one's opinion particularly rude? I don't find the former quote rude, it is merely their opinion which they are entitled to. They could have tried to be more tactful and claimed "I do not find this particular morph very attractive" which basically states the same thing they originally said, just in a different way. They would have been rude if they perhaps said something like "why did you post pictures of such an ugly animal, you are stupid for doing so" or "whoever thinks this is a pretty snake is a moron". Now that, imho, would be rude.
 
I think she's lovely, but I wouldn't pay that kind of money for something that might just be a one of a kind freak of nature that couldn't reproduce the colouring... but then I'm not independently wealthy. :)

As Elle already said, it's a Super Cinny Pied and "Panda Pied" is there silly marketing name for the new combo. Pieds can have varied amounts of white on them and this isn't the first Pied I've seen without color on its head. I've seen 95% white Pieds that have less color then this snake.

It's difficult to tell from the pictures, but I'm curious if it has the mouth/head deformity that is common in Super Cinnies. Two of the side photos look like something isn't exactly right, but then the third looks normal to me.

I love Super Cinnys and I hope more of these Super Cinny Pieds are produced with more of the brown/black coloring.
 
is that a normal looking head? I mean, it seems more squished in than normal...I don't know much about balls though, they really aren't my cup of tea. I think the cutest thing about it is the name.
 
Man oh man, one of my goals was to breed a super cinny pied. Thought it'd be beautiful and I was right. I find that snake extremely attractive. Well, may have one in about 8 years lmfao.
 
There actually is an Axanthic Pied. :)

I have a feeling that there's going to be more and more Panda-Pieds in the future. Once they are reproduced enough so they dont cost as much - then I might get one. 18,000 dollars for just one snake is pretty crazy. If they happen to sell said snake, hopefully the breeder will breed him/her.
