    Your right, I need to go shoot my dogs and put all my morphs in the freezer and join PETA today.......

    zhang, Your friend needs some hands on experience with animals and not a left slanted "schooling" on natural evolution and genetics. An albino ball is the exact same animal, with the same needs and care requirements of a normal ball python just with a different paint job. While most are weeded out by predation in the wild, don't be fooled into thinking that adult morphs don't exist in the African bush. Some mutations hinder while others assist in daily lives.

    I'm off now, be back later.

    ps, go out and buy that pied, its good for the economy
