Now, I may be considered fairly new to the politics and market of the ball python hobby. Until last year I've only kept my snakes as pets and had no interest in what was going on in this world.
But last year after I decided I wanted to become more involved in the hobby, I began researching different morphs and genetics to find what I was truly interested in pursuing. And one of those morphs that I ended up really being interested in was genetic stripes. I liked how they looked. I like the unbroken back stripes and I liked how there was very little to no other pattern happening. Just one solid clean stripe. But as I began looking further into it, I found that there seems to be very little interest in any genetic stripe projects. I see other recessive genes generating lots of interest, clowns, pied, albinos, but not so much genetic stripe.

Why is that? Why does no one seen interested in genetic stripes? I'm sure it has a lot to do with super stripes and how they are easier to obtain than a genetic stripe project but does that factor alone diminish the appeal of the gene? Is there any hope in reviving interest in this gene, because I'd personally like to work with it down the road and am curious as to why not many other seem to be working with it.


As always, any feedback is appreciated. Also, any pictures of different genetic stripe combos would be awesome!
