Something everyone needs to understand and consider is that in the grand scheme of things the ball python breeding industry is still in its infancy. There are going to be genetic issues with what we do. To say we shouldnt work with certain morohs because of risks is stupid. Instead of taking that stance how bout working with them to try and eliminate such issues or get a better understanding of the issues. Alot of things genetically can be washed out over time with selective breeding. This has been done in dog breeding and in other animal breeding. Genetic flaws are in all living creatures. Its not species specific to ball pythons. Look at the amount of morphs that are solid without issues. The percentages are good. And back to the price tag thing. You can be as politically correct as you want but if there was no market then there would be no industry. This industry was not built on the hobbyist. It was built on buisness. Without it there would have never been all these morphs to work with. Without a market their would never have been a nerd, ralph davis, tsk, bhb, kahl, sharp, outback, etc etc etc. It costs money to do what has been done therefore there is the market to support it. We also have to look at the evolution of these morphs we see today. If we didnt have morphs on this poll we would not have the combos we have today. If you want to work with the most complete gene in ball pythons youd be breeding normals.
