what bp breed to get specific colors?

im new to ball pythons and i was wondering if anyone had a list of what ball pythons can morph with for specific results

ya know i've been thinking about this for quite a while, it would be cool if there was a website that had "morph recipes" like it would say "snake x" + "snake y" = "snake xy". It would be a great help to beginners looking to research all the morphs and genetics. If anyone knows about something like this than post that link and it would be greatly appreciated

Well this is a start into genetics doesnt have anywhere close to all the morphs but its a good stepping stone. :gj: http://www.ballpython.ca/genetics.html

Here is a link that might help also.

I don't get this, It's showing different outcomes for recessive, co-dom, and dominant traits. But when it's doing the combo for the spider it say's that there is a het. and a homo. If it's dominant then it can't have a het.

ya, thanks, these are pretty good, i've seen the ballpythons.ca one before, thats a good one, and the nerd one is good too

:rofl::rofl::rofl: I have never noticed that before lol. any one else here have any super spiders ? hehehehehe I think he just hasnt updated the site since spiders first came out. It states "**As of yet, and to the best of my knowledge Spiders have not been proven to be a true 'dominant' mutation"

Do you atleast know what is a het and an homozygous ?

First mean there is only 1 allele of the gene, the other one mean there specimen (here the ball python) have both allele of the gene.

The spider being dominant mean that if you have 1 allele, the gene show and if you have both the gene also show up. But as far as I know, no one have been able to prove a spider to be homozygous (you know it, because when breed to a normal, all the babies will be spider).


If you can,t understand this, you need to read more on genetics. Cause genetics is even harder than this. One gene can affect another one, without being on the same chromosome spot. There is priority numbers between gene chromosome etc... but this doesn't look to apply to color mutation in ball python but could may be explain the ringer stuff.

Well heres ralphs Its not exactly what you want but you can check out each individual morph it has a pic of them and most have the genetics listed next to the pic (what makes them) :gj:

What exactly do you want to do? I was in the same boat a few weeks ago but google, the search feature here, stickies, links etc... have me on the right track. I even understand double and triple trait animals, mixed dominant and recessive visible animals like an albino spider and how double recessives like the caramel glow get made. Its honestly up to you alot to research and decide what to do. Ralph Davis's breeding records are a great start as just about everything is listed there.

Like...what is it you are aiming for? Do you want to breed for a specific thing, do you want to make money or what?
