Re: Ball Pythons through Major League Reptiles eyes
Great read Brant! Anyone who thinks Brant doesn't know what he is talking about should visit his "Starting Lineup" page. Mind blowing!! Can't wait for round 2 of the import prospects

Definitely love the import prospects page as well, and to be honest I can't ever understand why you'd sell what looks like it would have a good chance at proving to be a genetically inhereted trait!

Its great to see someone step up to the plate and take the time to inform us all from a different approach. The whole ball python market had to be shaped the way it was, in the beginning to form a "market" of sorts; which is why we are so accustomed to the word "normal" or "wild type". Yellow must be pastel, reduced, black back, etc, etc. Now that it has gotten so unbelievably big, the community continues to learn and expand to where we (and Brant of course) are today. No two ball pythons are the same, so whats so NORMAL about them anyways?? .. Just because an animal doesnt have bright pinks and yellows doesnt mean it does not have its own personal, one of a kind genetic make-up! which is why i am also fascinated by seeing the varieties in animals that dont catch the eye as some of the others do.
Great read props to the Op!

Thanks for sharing some of the thoughts that spin through my head Brant, very well said.
I love working with subtle genetics as much if not more so than the highly visual ones.
Eyes open, mind open, keep on truckin ...

Very interesting, though I don't see some things the same way, it certainly is food for thought. Thanks for taking the time to write.
