Re: Ball python single gene morph descriptions -need feedback
wow you're BP vocabulary and concepts are all over the place. lemme try to help out...

i think a trained eye can def. tell the difference. the challenge is trying to tell the difference between an Asphalt vs. Gravel vs. Yellowbelly.

in your mind only. it's not recessive and there is no such thing as a het Asphalt. please don't spread misinformation (b/c u can't distinguish an Asphalt vs. Normal).

that's actually a good theory.

Highways and Freeways are not complexes. they are (designer) morphs part of the Yellowbelly/Super Stripe complex.

Chocolate is a dark snake, super Chocolate is even darker.
Disco is a 'lightener' or enhancer, similar to Fire or Xtreme Gene. It's allelic to Fire and a Disco Fire is a white snake (in the same complex).
i'm not familar w/ Chocolate but do own Fire combo's and a (Pastel) Disco Fire. a Disco Fire is not a white snake. to put it simply, it looks like a Fire Pied w/ various degrees of whites or ringers.

no, it's not an Enchi. Blade is it's own morph, bred and isolated from reduced BHB Clowns by EBN and Markus Jayne.

LC Black Magic is a morph w/ LC being the breeder’s (combined) acronyms. Black Magic is a (designer) morph made of the base morphs u mentioned.

Scalessless and Micro-Scales are different. Micro-Scales do have missing scales on the head, but also have smaller scales overall throughout he BP body.
sorry but I think u need to hit the books harder. i'm still a noob myself but there's alotta misinformation here and i've seen u get stuff wrong in your other posts too.
RIP Mamba
