Nr Mandarin Royal Pythons For Sale in the UK

A hatchling Nr Mandarin shows heavy dark burnt orange tones across the whole body. Where the animal goes from there varies: some lose much of that brightness with age and end up resembling a clean patterned normal ball python, while others carry the colour into adulthood. That split is the buying question with this gene, so ask the seller how much colour the adults in the line have kept.

Nr Mandarin is incomplete dominant; listings often file it under the hobby's looser label, co-dom. The two-copy animal is catalogued on its own row as Super Nr Mandarin.

There is no plain Mandarin row in the catalogue, so an animal carrying the gene is tagged Nr Mandarin or Super Nr Mandarin and nothing else. Nuyten Reptiles Mandarin is a second name for the same gene.
