In many ways, I like the Basic Genetics sticky on this forum. But the pictures are all wrong. See post 94 at https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...enetics/page10
Cost of McCurley's "The Complete Ball Python" is $48.75 at Amazon. That is more than I am willing to spend. Particularly after I looked at McCurley's genetics web site.
The principles of genetics are the same for corn, fruit flies, mice and snakes. A used copy of Schaum's Outline of Genetics, Fifth Edition (Schaum's Outlines), by Susan Elrod and William Stansfield, would only cost a few dollars. (I have the third edition; it is well done.)
The USA National Institute of Health's "Genetics Home Reference" is free for the download.

"Genetics for Herpers" by Charles Pritzel is good.

I wrote a genetics guide. http://www.redtailboas.com/f115/no-f...s-guide-53782/
It is on a boa constrictor web site, but the principles are the same for ball pythons. I get on here pretty regularly so can expand on points that are unclear.
"Survey of Genetics" by Wilmer Miller. Free for the download. It is divided into 4 pdf files, but there are free tools that can stitch them together if desired. See the Contents page at www.ringneckdove.com For what it's worth, Miller taught me most of what I know about genetics.
Here are some good videos. http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/content/basics/
