Pied
Female • #26-4-10 • Wreck It Reptiles
High-expression Pied female who joined us in October. Bold white, deep orange and black — exactly the Pied look we want to build around.
Small-scale • Health-first breeder
Ball pythons raised slow, healthy, and honestly.
Green Leaf Reptiles is a small North Carolina collection built around a few quality projects — Pied, Enchi, GHI Mojave, and Desert Ghost. No mass production. Every animal is quarantined, feeding well, and tracked from day one.

We handle for health checks, not stress — and only sell animals that are eating consistently.
The collection
Foundation animals
The animals below are the core of our collection. The photos are representative images of each morph type — not photos of the individual animals — so you can see the look and pattern we’re working with. Ask us for current photos of the actual animal anytime.
New arrival
GHI Mojave Het Desert Ghost
Male • Proven breeder • The Noodle Group
Dark, dramatic GHI Mojave carrying Desert Ghost. Proven breeder and the engine for our darker, high-contrast Desert Ghost work. Photo shows the dark GHI Mojave complex look — ask for current photos of this male.
Enchi Orange Dream Pied Het Ultramel
Male • In our care
The cornerstone male of our Pied project — Enchi and Orange Dream stacked on Pied, with Ultramel in the mix. Bright orange, clean white, and the genetics to work toward Ultramel Pieds down the line.
Orange Dream Pied
Female • In our care
Orange Dream Pied female — Orange Dream sharpens the Pied pattern and pushes the colour warm and bright. A key female for our Pied and Ultramel direction.
Enchi Pied
Female • In our care
Enchi Pied female — Enchi’s reduced, banded pattern and rich gold over clean Pied white. Another foundation female for the Pied project.
Morph photos are representative of each animal’s morph type. Individual pattern varies — ask for current photos of any specific animal.
How we keep them
Small collection, serious standards
Quarantine isn’t optional
Every new arrival lives separately, on paper towel at first, with its own tools. We watch for mites, check sheds, and don’t rush introductions — even when an animal looks perfect on arrival.
- Separate quarantine space & dedicated tongs/tools per animal
- Mite checks on arrival and weekly during quarantine
- No breeding or co-mingling until quarantine is fully clear
What “healthy” means here
Clear eyes, clean vent, strong feeding response, complete sheds, and steady weight. If something looks off, we pause, treat, and get a vet involved — we don’t pass problems along.
- Weight & feed log for every animal, every week
- Only animals eating F/T consistently are offered for sale
- Honest genetics — hets listed only when proven or from trusted pairings
- Lifetime support: if you have a care question, ask us first
Our promise: We’d rather hold an animal back an extra month than send it out not ready. Health always beats a sale date.
Not just ball pythons
The personal collection goes beyond the breeding projects. Alongside the ball pythons, we also keep a red Argentine Tegu, a bearded dragon, and a trio of geckos — pets, not breeding stock, and held to the same care standards as everything else here.
Ball python basics
The numbers we keep
New to ball pythons? Start here — this is the setup every Green Leaf animal is raised in.
Hot spot88–92°F
Belly heat on a thermostat. Never unregulated heat — always probe-checked.
Cool side75–80°F
Room to thermoregulate. Two hides minimum — one warm, one cool.
Humidity50–60%
Bump to ~70% in shed. Large water bowl helps more than misting alone.
FeedingEvery 7–14d
Prey ~10–15% of body weight for juveniles. F/T, offered in the evening.
Breeding direction
Projects we’re building toward
We’re still growing out our foundation females — no rushed pairings. Here’s where the collection is headed.
🐍 Pied combinations
Building on our Pied female — looking toward clean, high-white Pied combos with strong contrast and solid feeding genes.
🌿 Desert Ghost
Our GHI Mojave Het DG male is paired with a GHI Het Hypo female — stacking GHI on both sides while working toward Desert Ghost, with Hypo in the mix. DG cleans up pattern and colour with age — worth the long game.
✦ GHI Mojave combos
GHI Mojave for darkness and drama — paired thoughtfully in future seasons for high-contrast, mid-to-dark tone combos.
🤍 Super Lesser pairings
Our Super Lesser male goes to two females — a Lesser Yellowbelly and a Bamboo. All three sit in the BEL complex, so we’re aiming for bright whites and soft, clean Lesser combos.
🔥 Clown project
A visual-to-visual Clown pairing: our Disco Inferno Clown male to a Fire Clown female. Every baby will be a visual Clown, with Fire and Disco Inferno brightening the pattern and colour.

Questions
Before you ask
Yes — via FedEx Priority Overnight through a reptile shipper, weather permitting (typically 40–90°F at both ends). Local pickup in North Carolina can also be arranged. Every shipment is packed with insulation, heat/cold pack as needed, and a deli cup with secure lid.
We start hatchlings on appropriately sized frozen-thawed rodents and don’t list an animal until it has taken at least 3–4 consecutive F/T meals unassisted. You’ll get its full feed card with it.
Sex is probed/popped and guaranteed. Visual morphs are guaranteed as photographed. Hets are guaranteed only when stated as 100% het from a visual × het/visual pairing — we’ll always show you the pairing.
Absolutely — just ask. We’re happy to send fresh photos, a handling video, and the animal’s feed/weight log before you commit.
A juvenile does well in a 20–40 gallon equivalent tub/enclosure, adults in a 4×2×2 ft enclosure. Bigger is fine if you fill it with hides and clutter — open space stresses ball pythons more than a snug hide does.
Questions about an animal, a project, or care?
We answer every message ourselves — usually the same day. Tell us what you’re keeping now and what you’re looking for, and we’ll point you the right way even if we don’t have it.
