Attention!!! ALL BALL PYTHON MORPH OWNERS...
I am beginning a super top secret project that YOU can be a part of! :D
Well...ok, it's not exactly "top secret", I'm just not quite ready to reveal it yet, until I am sure it will come together as I envision. If it does, it will be a HUGE asset to both BP.net and to the ball python world in general.
What I need from all of you is your help in collecting pictures...specifically of ball python morphs. ALL morphs!!! My focus in the beginning will be on single-gene base morphs...recessive, dom, and co-dom. With the co-dom morphs, I need pictures of the "het" form as well as the homo (super) form. (ie: I need pictures of both yellow bellies and ivories, pastels and super pastels) If pictures of combo morphs are submitted, I will accept and keep them aside for later when I reach that stage of the project.
What I am specifically looking for in these photographs:
- Full body shots that clearly show pattern and color
- Belly shots
- Close ups of details specific to that morph (ie: The green eye in pastels)
- Clear, crisp photos without background distractions
- The identity of the morph must be included with the submitted picture
There should just be one snake per photo submitted, UNLESS: you can submit a picture of the morph paired with a normal for comparison OR if you have multiple snakes of the same morph in the same picture. Please don't submit pictures with two or more different morphs, unless specifically requested at some later point.
Do NOT send us someone else's pictures. You don't necessarily have to own the morph in the picture, but you MUST own the picture.
I'm looking for multiple pictures of ALL morphs. So if you see that someone has already submitted pastel pictures (for instance) you should still submit yours as well.
All photos used in the final project will be fully credited to their owners, with BP.net screen names, at the very least, and your full name if I have it.
Photos may be submitted to me via PM or simply by replying to this thread and including them in your post. Submission of photos to this project constitutes full agreement that BP.net has your permission to host and freely use the photo in perpetuity.
If you have your own albums online somewhere on your own website, and would like to make any/all of those pictures available, please just let me know either here in this thread or via PM, so that I'll have a written record of the permission given, and I can then collect the pictures myself, rather than you having to go to the effort to repost them here.
Thank you all in advance for your help and support! The more morphs we can collect...and the more quality, individual photos of each morph we can collect...the more value this project will have!

You know you can use anything usable from my website ;) should get you a few morphs.

Excellent question! I would prefer clear, but will not reject watermarked pics, so long as the mark does not interfere with clear identification of the snakes characteristics.

Thanks, Rafal! Your marks are fine...they don't hide the snake. :D

Judy did you want the morph ID' on the picture itself or can we send it along?

It can simply be included in the text of the message...doesn't have to be embedded into the picture.

Belly pics will be an essential part of this project. Any and all you can shoot me will be deeply appreciated!
Oh, and those pics were GREAT! Thanks!!

Re: Attention!!! ALL BALL PYTHON MORPH OWNERS...
By the way...the pics don't all have to be the most dramatic representations of the morphs. I need quality pics, but not necessarily cream-of-the-crop morphs.
For instance, adult pastels and axanthics that have "browned out" will also be valuable to this project.
OH...and if your morph belongs to a specific line, be sure to include that info as well. This is especially needful on axanthics and ghosts, but there may be other morphs that might benefit from line distinction.

Re: Attention!!! ALL BALL PYTHON MORPH OWNERS...
I'll jump at any chance to photograph my collection and share it. :P
I tried to organize a photobucket album for you. All of the photos are in a sub album based on morph. All most all of them are with out flash. Feel free to use what every you want. There are also plenty of other pictures on my photobucket account that you can use if they meet your needs.
My butter may or may not be about to shed. Her belly looks a little pink, but I haven't had her long enough to know if that's normal for her.
I also have an Enchi arriving on Tuesday so I'll create a new sub album for him that you can use.
Good luck with your project!

How long are you accepting pics? I'm going to be getting a couple younger females soon.
Couple more questions:
Do you prefer adults? I can give you approximate ages
Does a het ___ (anything recessive here) not count as a normal? I have a het pied male, but not sure if that would count for comparison.
One of the girls I am buying is an orangebelly, does that count as line? I'm pretty sure the genetics on these guys are kind of wierd. I can let you figure out what to call her, though myself i'm super hoping she's het graphite!!
Thanks!!

I'll actually be accepting pictures indefinitely. Even after the project has gone public, new pictures can always be added.
I would very much like as many adult pictures as possible, because many morphs look a little (or a lot) different as adults than they do as babies...all pics at all ages are important!
For the purposes of this project, recessive hets would be considered normals. However, there are a few recessive genes that affect how a morph looks when it is a het with another morph. A pastel-het-ghost, for instance, can look different than a regular pastel...so just give me as much info as you can give me about each animal.
Yes, let me know about orangebellies and graphites and any other newer or lesser-known morphs.

Judy,
Please feel free to use any of the pics on my website. Also, if you have something in particular that you are looking for, and can't get, let me know, as I have it, I will get you a picture.

ok here you go

I think most of the co-dom stuff I've got has been covered pretty well, but if there are any pictures on my site that you want to use go right ahead!
-
So many beautiful looking snakes in this thread. WoW!!
-
You should also ask that photos be taken on a white, or solid light colour background. ;)
I have several projects running with rodent identification photos, and solid white backgrounds are really key, so that the photos all have a similar colour.
Also, asking that people use natural lighting helps too. It might be harder to collect photos when you're being more specific like that, but it will help the photos be more consistent!

I need to give a little update and notice here...
First off, THANK YOU for everyone who has donated new pictures. If I haven't put a "thank you" under your post, it is simply because I haven't had a chance to download/save the new images yet. The "thank you" helps me keep track of which ones I've saved. I WILL get to them, and get them added to the guide.
However, the time for our cross-country move is bearing down on me fast and furious. I won't be totally offline during these next few weeks, but I won't have the time or the attention span to dedicate to this project until we get settled in our new home. I plan to pick up the reins again at the end of July or first of August at the latest, and then we'll be going balls to the wall :P on making our Guide the best on the 'Net! :D
More photo donations are always welcomed. Just please be patient with me if it seems I haven't responded or acknowledged them in some way. I promise I'll get to them!
Once again, thank you all for making this project such a success!!!
