Ball python single gene morph descriptions -need feedback

[reptilelover1995]

Dave Green discovered and proved out the Monsoon recessive: https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...)-eggs-of-2016! it's awesome and reminds me of the Granite Burmese Python. he used to be active here on the forum, but is super busy with his projects and posts more on FB.


also another one: i'm not sure who the breeder was who discovered the Rainbow gene or tis history, but it's one recessive missing from your list. they're really bright and gorgeous animals. here are pix of some Rainbow combos and pix that are up for sale: https://www.morphmarket.com/us/c/rep.../trait/rainbow

Sorry for the double post, but I realized that I could not see the pictures in the thread on the Monsoon ball python. I could not access the photos on the post, and there is only one photo on WOBP. Ideally, I'd like to have multiple photos of multiple individuals expressing the same mutant allele, so that I know the phenotype I am describing is not just due to individual variation.

As for the rainbow, I need to see pictures of single-gene mutants in order to describe the phenotype accurately, as multi-gene mutants have their phenotype altered by multiple genes and thus I cannot accurately determine what affects are due to the gene of interest. I found a page on in on WOBP, and from what I can tell it doesn't look any different from something like lavender albino. Has someone done crossings to determine whether or not this is just a new line of an already known mutant?

^That last part sums up why this project has been taking so long. Determining what morphs are "real" and which ones are just new listings of an already-known trait is extremely difficult, and it's part of why I've been describing each phenotype.
