    Breeding guestion??

    Someone told me that normals should only be bred with normals because they're not worth breeding them to anything else. I'm too new to ball pythons to even consider trying but I am very curious about whether this is true? Or what should normal balls be bred with?

    Well in some cases yes people are practically giving them away, I see the beauty in all balls and many other animals. If just normal but if het fit any gene go ahead.

    Would I breed a normal male to a normal or morph female? No.

    Would I breed a dinker normal male or female who may produce interesting things? Yes.

    Would I breed a morph male (single gene to multiple) to a normal female? Yes.

    Re: Breeding guestion??

    So you would lets say breed a normal with a albino and hope for albinos?or do the same with a normal and a morph and what would you hope for? I'm going to read up on this but I have a while before I would do anything. My male normal is only 10 months old.

    The normal may have some interesting things to it you want in your morphs like very clean patterning, high whites, the albino could be one. In some the het albino or albino is bred to the normal female (just using the albino as a representative you could use most co it dominate genes) you didn't know it but some where zone the lines it may have het for albino and you get albino baby's with high whites and very clean patterning

    Unless the normal was het albino you would not get visual albinos from a normal to albino breeding since albino is a recessive gene: you would get normal looking balls that are het for albino. When you pair a normal to a codom/dom is when you can get visual morphs and normals. Here's a good site to check out: http://www.worldofballpythons.com/

    Personally I wouldn't breed a normal male unless it was dinker quality but if you choose too I would pair your guy to some sort of codom/dom morph female.

    I have a normal male I plan on breeding sometime after he finishes quarantine. He'll have been with me a year come June, maybe he'll meet the ladies next season.
