Morph question.

This may be a stupid question, but Im not sure, so here goes... :gj:


Is this just a normal ball python? Or is it a morph of some kind. Ive been looking at pictures and have no idea if she is or not.

thanks!

Yes - it's a normal ball python! :)

Most of the time if it's a morph it will be labeled...although I have seen a few people find morph in pet stores thet were not labeled. Either way...yours looks like a normal to me.

Its the good ole normal ball python morph :gj:

Thanks for the quick answers, I thought she was normal, but had to be sure.


My next question is this. I was lookin at how the genetics of the male and female play a part in the babies and all the pictures show that the moms are the ones who determine the babies (all the dad pictures are normal) Is this true, or did whoever make it just keep the dad variable the same and change the female variable.

Thanks! :snake:

Hi,

As far as I know nobody has yet found a sex linked gene mutation (ie morph ) in ball pythons.

And to make homozygous morphs (what we call the super form ) the mutation would have to be in both parents. :)
