    White Ball?

    What genetics go into a white Ball Python? I have seen many pictures and just love the way they look.

    I'm guessing she means the leuctistics... those are the solid white ones with blue/black eyes. I think they're fire x fire..... is that right?

    Gotcha... the lucys are kind of a freak occurrence, so if you buy two fires, don't expect to see them.

    Huh? There are MANY Ball morphs that will make a leucistic: Mojaves, Fireballs, Butters, Lessers... and probably a few more. It's definitely not a freak occurence.

    Re: White Ball?

    the super form of it seems like almost all of the codominant morphs are a solid white or near solid white snake. There are many blue eyed lucys (butter, lesser etc.) then there are the black eyed (fires) then there are the super mojave, which is considered leucistic but has a dark head, then there are the ivories (yellow belly)
    sorry for the confusion if I caused it, I meant that it's funny how many white super forms of bp morphs there are.

    Thanks for the link! Ivorys?

    The whole genetics thing is still really confusing to me.
