    Why aren't there a lot of burmese python morphs?

    I always see retic morphs, ball python morphs, red tail morphs, all kinds of crap. But I never see any burmese morphs. Why?

    California Kingsnake-Bob
    Cornsnake-Corny

    ask god or darwin, depending on what you believe.

    because all the morphs you see is all we've found, they didn't mutate as much as other snakes. that nature, its not like there mad scientist making up all these morphs

    Albino, green/patternless, granite, labyrinth, caramel/blonde, hypo/leucistic (also several combinations of the ones listed)... think there may be a couple others too. I think that's a fair number considering in most species you don't really see many mutations. Since they are a threatened species in their native land, the chances of finding any new mutations in the wild now are somewhat low. It's pretty rare for any to pop up randomly through captive breeding as well.

    Theres a good bit of morphs and theres still a few in the making especially with the hypos being mixed into everything and the caramels being mixed in. Also the butterscotch that was proven out im sure will be mixed with other morphs in the next few years.

    Give the burms a few years and you'll see many more morphs...There are some breeders out there on the cutting edge doing great breeding projects and also importing cool stuff from Asia...In time it will be like the BP's and TIC's with all the morphs...Damn, I hope that doesn't sound too negative...

    Don't argue with an idiot, they'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
