How Do Breeders Have Lines?

[josh@outbackreps]

If that was true there would not be Bell line/butterscotch ghost, or Nerd line ghost, etc

Pastels would not have : Nerd, Graziani, Ian G, Bell or any of the other lines as they were all imported and are all compatiable. Same as yellow bellies, blk pastels, cinnamons, het reds, all are compatiable animals that have different lines that have been imported.

oh ok. IM still figuring out all the ball python morphs. Is there a difference in a nerd pastel versus a graziani or bell or ian?

I dont know if its true or not but I read once I believe on this site that in order to have your own line it has to be somewhat different? Like in the lines of pastel, one has more blushing normally, one has more yellow color normally? I could be wrong but thats what I heard.

Nope...

Just needs to be an animal that you have proven.

Be it an established morph or not.

They are all just different lines/examples of the same morph. A Graziani pastel is a more orange color, a NERD line is a bright yellow, and a Bell line is a more basic yellow color.

All the lines have slight differences, and that is what is nice about them is when you use them in combo's they can make combo's with different expressions of the same combo. That is why some morphs like ghost mojave's look like night and day difference between them, they are the same morph/combo, but can have different ghost lines in them.
I know of 1 collection that is working with over 15 different lines of orange ghost, and all are compatible, and make some xtreme babies.
We have had/sold at least 40 new lines/c.h or w/c yellow bellies over the last 3-4 years, and they will all make combos that will look slightly different depending on the line.

There are lots of things still to be done with the basic morphs when you bring new lines of the gene into the mix.

Its hard to say the differences since it varies from animal to animal. Alot of it has to do with the non pastel or normal used in the breeding that produced the certain animal.

The main differences between different lines is their lineage comes from different wild caught pastels specimens.

Many people feel butters and lessers are the same morph but all lessers are decendants of Ralphs original Platty and butters are not. So actually they are different lines of what seems to be the same morph.

If you were to import a pastel directly from Africa you could name it your own line.

I myself dont prefer a specific line but rather choose the specific animal since all lines will have their beauties and their dogs.
