    Re: Is there a point to having normal ball pythons? + breeding question

    if you can get a free normal female, take it. combos like jigsaw, bee, or pewter, can produce more jigsaws, bees, or pewters, when bred to just a normal female.
    Breeding to a normal male might be useful in cases where there is an unproven female morph. The only way to prove it out would be to pair it with a normal.

    so... they aren't COMPLETELY useless, but I sure won't be keeping any around I have enough "useless" single gene males! lol
