    Spark?

    I just received a pastel spark and a fire spark. What is the spark morph?

    Spark is listed as a "incomplete dominant" in the World of Ball Pythons book, but I can't honestly tell the Heterozygous animals apart from a normal easily. They have some minor patterning differences over a traditional "normal" ball python.

    Homozygous Spark looks like Champagne met Genetic Stripe and is a cool looking animal, but it would probably pair better with color morphs than pattern morphs, but time can only tell.

    It's part of the YB/Super stripe complex.

    But how do you make it. I have searched and I cannot find what breeds to what to get the spark. I now know how to tell by looking if it has spark but I cannot find what two animals to get the spark. It's driving me crazy. I'm about to call Brian and ask him. It's maddening......

    I believe that as a base morph it was discovered somehow (as in, someone decided an import looked "interesting" or maybe that the results of a clutch may have something that is as yet undiscovered or defined) and then the next step would be for someone to breed the base morph strategically to prove its heritability and interactions with other morphs. I guess you could also call this the end result of discovering an inheritable spontaneous mutation.

    There's no "making it". It's its own gene. The snake has it or doesn't.

    It's been around since 2013 and no one has proven it out? Where did it come from?

    it has been proven out and there are plenty of Spark combos. the Super Spark and Puma (Spark YB) were the hot sh-t until the Freeway/Highway's were produced.

    So a spark a base morph like a normal?

    This is driving me crazy. I can't sell a morph if I have no idea what it does or how it's made.
