I purchased my first ball python 8 mos. ago. At the time I had no knowledge (or interest) in his genetics and purchased him because he appealed to me visually and had a wonderful disposition.
In the meantime, I've learned more about the gazillion morphs out there, and become well and truly addicted to Ball pythons. I've since acquired a few more b.p. and am considering breeding but am giving myself 3 years to research, learn, gradually acquire equipment and supplies and just enjoy my snakes before actively getting into it.
In the meantime, although I know more about morphs and genetics than I did when I purchased my boy, that's really not saying much. LOL The sheer number of morphs is daunting and the genetics make my head spin.
The paperwork that came with my first snake described him as a Pastel Champagne Pinstripe 100 Het Hypo. I understand the definition of het and hypo but can't remember seeing both terms used to describe one snake before.
I'd be grateful if someone wouldn't mind educating me on this.
