    Re: Locality Ball Pythons?

    Sub sahara's are a giant locality of ball. They are only found in the one region of northern Ghana.

    Most of your commonly imported morphs could all be considered locality animals too.

    All yellow bellies are found in a certain locality in that country.
    All pieds have been collected in a small locality of Ghana.
    All lavender albino's are collected in one area of Benin
    Ghost are all found in the same locality "pocket" as they call it.

    Pastels are found in a small belt way that runs acrossed the 3 countries, (Ghana, Benin, Togo) .

    These could all be considered localities of balls as due to inbreeding in the wild ,the mutant genes are spread in the area they were created in, so that area is where the animals stay and breed spreading the gene, becoming a locality specific animal.

    That is why we have gotten 10 c.h/w.c ghost in a 5 month time frame, and have gotten 15-20 yellow bellies c.h / w.c in a 6-8 month time frame, as they are all collected and exported from the same locality.

    There is a lot of work to be done on wild populations of balls.
