New with lots of Questions

Hello,

I'm new here. Looks like a great site! I am not new to snake ownership, but I am new to breeding ball pythons.

It all started for us with one seven year old normal male who is a much loved pet. Then we got the idea of breeding, and now we have seven ball pythons, one of whom is a rescue.

I have plenty of questions to ask. I just bought a 100% het piebald male yesterday, and I'm definitely trying to learn as much as I can, because ultimately we want to produce our own piebalds.

Dogs I am very good with and know inside and out- but snake genetics are new to me. I am finding that quite a bit of it is not that different from dogs, though, in so far as understanding the genetics.

If I sound ignorant, have patience... I'm just getting started!

Anyway, I just wanted to say hello. I hope to make new friends who share my interest in snakes as well as learn a lot.

This one is definitely more advanced and you'll learn more about punnet squares here than you may ever have wanted to know LOL (grab a pencil and paper for this one). The best basic and advanced genetics for ball pythons information I've ever seen by one of the premiere breeders of this species. A huge site and chock full of great information overall.....
