    Re: Why so many morphs?

    Very Simple Answer... Ball Python's taste [BAD]!!! There are not too many animals where these little guys come from that really like to feed on them. They find full sized and sub adult morphs all the time in the wild... Albinos, Pieds, Pastels, etc etc. This means that any mutation or freak gene that comes up stick around due to the fact that these animals survive and reproduce. If balls had more predators there would not be as many morphs. The bright colored snakes would stick out and be eaten.... but this is not the case. So due to large numbers of imports and many morphs found in the wild there is a higher chance for morphs to be discovered.
