    Of course it would help if the morph was one of those they test for: Which it isn't.

    Re: Meet Freyja

    I'm confused. The website says they test for clown. Isn't that what we're talking about?

    Nah, I think there is another gene in there at low expression. I think Het Clown is a pretty safe bet, but, no one has commented about the other one.

    what do you think she is?


    and I don't see myself ever breeding her.

    So, you don't think the 30 Morph Panel Test would identify the other morph(s) at work?

    As I said before: It really doesn't matter, and I don't do IDs because people get very passionate in the forums. I'm just surprised no one said anything.

    Yes, you are correct. The panel completely misses testing for this gene, and I'm pretty surprised as it is becoming much more common. I had to check all the lists like 5 times-to make sure.

    I'm not saying anything.
    If I was going to sell that snake I probably would have marked it as only a 66% Het Clown as well to avoid confusion.

    That's good, since that sort of guessing leads to a fair number of mislabeled animals (of other species; I couldn't say how bad this is in ball pythons specifically) on the market. Even a "looks like a..." hypothesis can easily turn into "some knowledgable sounding breeder told me it is a ....". Given that the odds of any given ball python not finding its way back into the market at some point are slim, that label can stick.

    Unless a person is willing to test breed it to confirm, it is probably best not to know.
