Which is the best looking?

Splash

The splash gene is my personal favorite. Its pretty similar to a pied ball python, but most of the affected area is near the tail. The way it interacts with other morphs i stunning, particularly in albino snakes. The area of splash is often a perfect crisp white, similar once again to the pied morph in ball pythons. It is also commonly paired with snow and anery sand boas, but with a base color similar to white to begin with, the splash isnt quite as dramatic. These are also becoming more and more affordable as more people begin to breed them. With some luck I'll be one of them in the future. Im excited to see how the albino splash combo pairs with the nuclear color. That orange screams on nuclear albinos and the contrast of the white will probably bring a tear to my eye. I am aware of several breeders already beginning to work towards this combo, so it shouldn't be too long before we're all crying over them. The splash gene is simple recessive so it's inherited the  same way albino and anery is and it also means that it will hold its value a little longer because its not as easy to produce.
