    Re: Temperaments based on Morphs, Parents, etc.

    This is mostly due to hormonal and chemical changes in animals we have chosen to domesticate based on a more submissive demeaner and such that causes changes over a couple generation and the animals hair changes due to our selective breeding. Ball python morphs patterns are found in the wild, it's not something we bred to get that couldn't already happen. After all we don't breed snakes for their temperament, so we are not picking animals with different chemical and hormonal balances. I'm not saying it's not possible, but I think even if it was happening, it'd be much less noticeable.
