Is the well dry?

[OhhWatALoser]

World of ball pythons used to be the "place" to get a morph recognized. The requirements were basically take a picture that's not in your hand and it got put up there. Now morphmarket is that place but there is a formal system and it can be reviewed by anyone before it is added. I think people are a lot more reserved to call something new because of the lot of them that turned out to be the same. Also in the age of shed testing some have been proven without a single doubt to be the same and more will in the future. With that said, every dinker is a potentially new gene and even if something is proven out, you have to ask yourself is it marketable? What's marketable is tougher than it was back in the day.

If you want a personal example I found some pics of one I've been working with. Like a fire they lighten up as they age. unlike a fire, its super hard to see when they are babies. I haven't been able to prove it allelic with yellowbelly, fire, or lesser. I also had a string of bad luck and a divorce which split my collection. So I have yet to make a super. Also with this being potentially an inferior fire, im only keeping a handful to work with for now. So if/when I see the potential of the super, ill have to make a decision if it is marketable and if I want to put the work in to separate the gene from spider, which you also didn't have to do back in the day. I have at least 2 other promising drinkers and a couple more I'm still playing with to see if i feel there is potential. I'm just 1 breeder, I bet you anyone with a sizeable collection has a couple potential projects they are working with.

So while we probably will only see excitement like sunset or monsoon once in a great while, the well is far from dry.
