copper head morph?
I had a thought about this. Wonder what it would take in genetics to be produced but a ball python with the same colours and bending as a copper head. What do you guys think?

I'm thinking maybe a browned out pastel lesser with a reduced pattern might look somewhat like a copperhead. Copperhead are my favorite venomous snake, their amazing patter/ colors and I was able to catch one while herping in upstate NY 3 years ago makes them top of my list.

This super chocolate I hatched last year (and sold) was particularly bright and copper head like:

Might have pastel or yb in there but I couldn't find an e-mail for the guy with pastel super chocolate to ask about the belly (this guy had a muddy super chocolate belly and not a yb or pastel belly like I would have expected in a combo but who knows which would win out).

That is nice and all but I am talking about a ball morph that resembles a copper head shake

it would have the same horizontal stripes as a copper head, or close to it with the gray and copper colors. I think if you find a normal with that might have genetic stripes on its back going all the way across and can prove it as genetics, then start mixing morphs with it I think it can be done... Of course it may take 10 years or so to fully prove it out
An Axanthic Caramel comes close to this in color just needs more grey...

After your ax cam idea, made me think a nice reduced pattern ax lesser could come close, or ax enchi lesser. Man now you got
Me thinking what morphs could make a ball python get the came colors as a few different snake species.

the Ax Lesser comes really close over the ax enchi lesser. But you still need to redden it out just a bit.

that would take 1,000 hours of training and $15,000 cashiers check to own. I think it would be easier to play around genetics and have some fun on morphs and enjoy ball pythons
