Im not insulting you about experience im just explaining that ive been doing this alo.g time and thats why im hesitant on posting pics of a baby that could be a fluke thing. Now if i had produced a number of them it would be a different story. I apoligize if i came across insulting you. Thats not what my intentions were. This is a game of playing mad scientist. Any way you cut it. The only ball python the way nature intended it to be is a normal. They are the the strongest in the gene pool. This is why on most of your crosses and combos you always have the percentage of babies being normal looking out of the egg. Every morph is created by manipulating the gene pool. So yes we are playing god by producing weird looking morphs. All of your morphs are created this way. Alot of the morphs that came in from the wild are produced by captive breeders in africa and then sent over. This is true. But some do come from the bush. But not the morphs you see created to a scale we have in the breeding industry. It was breeders that found out what happens when you do selective breedings or combo breedings. The reason i chose the name was cause the baby produced was nothing like the sire animal in question. So it was screwy looking. Hence the name. But to say the name screwball is somehow a derogitory name is just rediculous. What happens if someone produces a bluish colored snake. You know it will be called a blueball. This thread has gotten way off base. From what it was intended. I will take some blame for that because i have had to defend my decision not to post a pic of a baby that i cant prove without a doubt what it is. But i will have my answers this spring. I have it going back to the original normal girl i produced the baby from as well as about 5 grand worth of morph girls. So based on the fact im going to put that kind of money into a breeding shot in thw dark means i believe strongly in the outcome. So dont you think if i thought it was nothing but a pastel i wouldnt waste valuble girls on a breeding like that? Like the name or not if it does pan out it will be another new exciting morph to work with.
