Ultra-complicated Designer Morphs?

[Pythonfriend]

there are many BPs out there with somewhere around 6 to 8 morphs inside.

somehow they often do not look that impressive.

but then, some highly advanced multi-gene combos do look awesome. i count heterozygous for a morph gene as one, and homozygous as two. often they do look washed out, or the pattern does not survive, but some are awesome.

one breeder comes to mind: NERD. Kevin mccurley. here is one of the 6 hit BPs he produced, just as an example: http://www.worldofballpythons.com/mo...pastel-spider/ its 5 genes, but one is a super form (super yellowbelly = ivory), so i count 6 hits.

or here you have a coral glow + granite + hidden gene woma + mojave + pastel + super enchi: http://www.worldofballpythons.com/morphs/bubble-gum/ keep in mind its a super enchi. coral glow disrupts the color, and the other morphs do their thing. i count 7 hits, and 6 genes.

often it washes out, all turns into a blur, but not if its the right combination. i think once you reach these high numbers of genes, you really need to worry about what works best with what. i am, for example, quite sure that some of the combos we know would profit from adding another 4 hits, in the form of super enchi super orange dream.

but i second the question: what is the PROVEN (in the sense of accepted, believable) highest number right now? according to my count. so a visual recessive counts as two, a super form counts as two, anything heterozygous counts as one (dominant, codominant, or het for something). meaning i count a super pewter as 4, and i would also count an axanthic clown as 4, and a super enchi super pastel would also be at 4. how high does it go right now? consider that its quite established that its up to 7. so its about numbers higher than 7.
