Morph descriptions
Is there a place/book/whatever that describes what the different morphs are? Plus their genetics? I'm looking at snakes and seeing all these names and thinking that I cannot for the life of me figure out what is being described and how A is different from B. It's very confusing. I have looked, but can't seem to find the info on descriptions of the morphs. Thanks in advance.

this forum is the right place, ask very specific questions and get very specific answers :)
but then, much of it is easy to do with pictures but hard to do with words. lets say you want to describe the enchi head stamp, and how it is different from what spider or pastel or clown do to the top of the head, thats really difficult. use a few images and it is really obvious.

I'm suprised that no one has recommended Kevin McCurley's new book yet!
The Ultimate Ball Python: Morph Maker Guide - http://shop.newenglandreptile.com/ho...ll-python.html

Oh, my, that's exactly what I was looking for. It's beautiful! Can't afford it now, but maybe one of these days. Thanks.

Re: Morph descriptions
I am not complaining. No one owes anyone anything on the internet. It takes time and effort to share knowledge that they have worked to acquire, and I'm not entitled to that in any way. The reason I asked is because recently I asked a simple question about albinos, and there was little response. As I said in the OP, I can't necessarily see what I'm even looking for, especially when one morph works off another.

Stick around for a while and u get better at distinguishing stuff. And alot of it actually isnt your fault since many many morphs are very subtle and look normal but can do powerful things in combos or have a sexy looking super form. Are you at least familliar with the 3 kinds of morphs (recessive, dominant, codominant)?

Guess what. I just went ahead and bought it! I figured that since I do not have unlimited resources to buy snakes, nor do I want to, it would be a good investment to find out what it is I really want to have and what I can just have photos of.
