I popped them after I cleaned them up (though they still pooped all over me :D ).

NOTE: at this age it is very easy to hurt them so you need to have someone with experience show you.

>.< I find that extremely wierd that they label their sex chromosomes with Z's and W's. lol. Why not just stick with the X's and Y's? How many chromosomes do BP's have anyway? Just curious really. i'm thinking about switching my major to Zoology and focusing on Herpetology. It would be cool to start getting into herp genetics also, which is another reason for me to start playing around with breeding/morphs ^^

Congrats Sean ... sorry I missed this thread.


That is so cool!!!!!

Here is a great wiki on Ball Python Genetics (written by one of our own BP.net'ers...not sure it will answer all your questions but gives a great overview. :)

What you can't see it? Do you have invisible mode turned on on your computer? You need Windows Vista 2007 Revision 12, 4th edition. :rolleye2:
