I am in the process of developing a system for a ball python genetic library as well as DNA mapping for morph ball pythons. The process will result in a visualization of a selected ball python's genetic markers in order to validate genetics. This will primarily serve those purchasing high end snakes that are het for a desirable breed. An example would be, you are about to purchase a Spider het pied. You can visibly confirm the snake is a Spider. What about the fact that it is het for pied? Through database comparison a person will be able to guarantee a snakes genetics when the trait is not visually apparent. The process and output will be in the form of Gel Electrophoresis. This will allow for easy position matching for genetic similarity.

I want to get a more robust idea of the potential interest this service will have in the herpecultural world and any other information you may find useful. Any input would be greatly appreciated and help further develop the process, in turn enhancing the understanding of ball python genetic variability, and grow the overall understanding of ball python mutations.
