Morph ID??? Please Help

There's nothing about those two that would compel me to breed them together.

Get the girl to good weight, then selectively breed her to a mutation that she would compliment.

Hi,

Well most colour changes in ball pythons we understand are caused by hormonal changes.

Those can be caused by breeding, stress, illness and a whole host of reasons we know nothing about. :rolleyes:

The way the male's pattern comes together to form those brown blocks instead of separating is pretty cool.

If I was going to do anything with this particular group, I'd see if I could get babies to inherit that big block pattern.

I am breeding them back together this breeding season. I was told they are not related but they look like they are considering they have the same pattern and coloration. Does anyone have any idea what they are?

Not an approved diet (by me anyway) but still better than what I have seen before. What make me wonder is with alot of research I could not find any pics that look similar to what they look like. Also people were telling me it is not worth breeding them. I would like to get a wider range of opinions on this. I dont want to sound like I think every normal ball python I see is a dinker but these guys are relitivly odd.

In an effort to keep the forum clutter free all 3 threads have now been merged into one. :gj:

Yeah so basically something caused them to change colors. No one understands how or why, it is a mystery. Over time they will get their normal coloration back.
:rolleyes:
Here is a link to other similar cases.

First - please do not start yet another thread asking the same thing - we've already had a moderator have to merge all three of your threads asking the same thing.

Second - re-posting the same question is not going to change the fact that these are two normals. You really don't need our approval to breed them together if that's what you want to do.

You asked for opinions, and most of the opinions are - it's not anything that most of us with some years under our belts haven't seen before - and in most cases, it's believed to be related to their diet.

If you believe it to be more than that - then breed them together and find out.
