    i don't believe all morphs are inbred, although there is more than enough inbreeding going on in bp's. i think mabe normals just sit back in awe at them because they are jealous.
    i think i pay attention to all my snakes equally, but that did cross my mind. i think morphs are just different.

    Well, spiders are known to be very good feeders. Now, that's probably not part of the spider gene itself but probably a gene carried by the original spider that's been passed down to a lot of the offspring.

    I doubt most dominant/codominant morphs are inbred, or the heterzygous form at least. People tend to breed their pastels to normals, or pastels to other morphs. I'd worry about a super pastel being inbred, but I doubt most pastels are inbred.

    Albinos, Pieds, Axanthics and other recessive morphs on the other hand are probably inbred every which way. This is one of the reasons I have no interest in recessive morphs, aside from the pain in the butt it is to actually produce them. And, I'm just personally not a big fan of their looks.

    BallPythonBabe448 you could always buy two hets and attempt to breed the piebald from them.

    i have seen a 100% pair of hets for 1500.00. the price will come down a little more but not too much less (in the next year or two)

    you never know what a wad of cash might get you in person!
    someone may need/want the money enough to work on the price, don't be afraid to counter offer someone. cash does motivate some!

    thanks

    MARS !
    so like what would be a reasonable offer for me and the breeder? like he has the for 8,000 males and 6,000 females.

    maybe 20-30 % of asking price. any lower than that they might get offended. remember cash in hand might influence some. depends on the breeder alot. a private breeder make work with you more (if they like you). i think sometimes big breeders have too much overhead and they know there name will sell their animals sooner or later. just my thoughts though!


    thanks
