In my biology class i am doing a group presentation. I would like it to be on Ball pythons and their morphs being a big thing these days. I just need some help finding some articles in magazines/and or newspapers. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Check VPI's website. The Barkers both have published many papers and articles in various scientific journals.

do you know of any links to articles in reptile mag, or any articles in the newspaper on ball python breeding and morphs/genetics?

Also check out the book "The complete ball python (Breeders addation)" Very informanitive and load of morphs and pics and explainations.

Here's a start...if you go to google.com and click "more" there will be a list of different search engines that allow you to get more specific results than with the main google search engine. This search below was done using the search for scholarly papers, most peer-reviewed, which is key for use in the academic setting.

Mike,



I am a teacher also, and have recently started a ball breeding project in my class. I found Dr Mark Sewards video on Ball python breeding informative. He also responds to email, and has answered questions that I have posed to him.

Morph King Reptiles, Joe and Wes have helped out quite a bit also. they have donated a snake, and about 30 T' shirts for my herpetology club. They have offered to do video tours of their facility and are more than willing to answer questions.

Class site is www.wildlifebiology.net
