I do understand that smaller breeders tend more towards using a male morph over a female morph. I have asked a few of the larger breeders the same question nd got pretty good results from them, I won't name names here, and so far everything is adding up pretty well.
The paper is for a genetics class where we are learning that in a lot of cases one sex or the other has ,for lack of a better term, stronger genes. I am just trying to get the information for something that was assigned to me. I chose Ball Pythons because. 1. I love them and do breed them. 2. I have better chances of getting information that is reliable than if I had chosen say fish. and 3. If the information I ahve been given so far keeps true to the trend I am seeing then it may very well change a lot of thinking on Ball Python breeding and then more study can be done to prove or disprove anything I may find.
As of right now I have over 4000 clutches of eggs total and the results do show a trend when taken into percentages. I will ahve the paper done Thursday and turned in on Friday so that is when I will say what I have found. So far most people will be shocked IMO.
