BP Breed Question

[Ninefinger]

:?: I notice all the diffrent types of breeds of BP's as I search different website and have a question. The standard BP you buy from the herp stores are what paticular breed of BP's?

[Kara]

What you're seeing is all the same species -Python regius. There are just different color mutations available - think of it as a ball python with a genetically different paint job.

The standard BP you see in pet stores are normals & generally farm-hatched or WC at that.

Breeds? You mean morphs? The morphs are genetic mutations, so the ones in the pet stores are the normal or 'wild type'.

Some snakes have locality differences like boas. There are colombian red tails, argentine red tails, hogg isle red tails, and they're all different, but they are all the same snake. Far as I know there are no locality differences in ball pythons.

Actually my avatar is a Bumblebee (pastel Spider), not a Killer Bee (super pastel Spider).

Here's a Killer for comparison:

I think those two breeds are two of the neatest ones. What are the price range for those? :?:

You don't want to know.

The one male Bumble we're willing to sell at the moment is $38,000.

Killer Bees aren't for sale. To my knowledge, the only 3 in existence are in our collection, although I'm sure that will change with this upcoming season.
