Book?

Is there a book, or a website, that tells you how to identify ball python morphs? I mean, I can tell what most morphs are but I have to admit, there are some morphs out there that looks just like a normal. Also, when getting into 3 or 4 gene morphs, how do you identify these genes? For example, I just saw a 4 gene morph (I can't remember now) and it looked like a 2 gene morph.

Try this website: http://www.worldofballpythons.com/morphs/ It has a list of every known morph, and has a genetic calculator that you can play around with too.

WoBP doesn't have pics of many 3 and 4 gene morphs, so the only way I think you can know for certain would be to breed the morph with a normal, and see what genes show up in the clutch. It may even take several clutches to prove out the existence or absence of a particular gene.

I am aware of World of Ball Pythons... they don't really tell you exactly what to look for in each morphs though. I'm interested in finding something that will tell me how to identify each morphs. Ideas?

^ Those links are to sections on the site that provide info about different morphs, single to double gene morphs and designer... pics are provided and some descriptions to go along with some of the pics

Ok, here's an example... black bee. How do you determine if it is a black bee and not a spider because they look very close?
