![]() If you are getting a ball python, please note that some basic morphs and morphs containing multi-genes, can lead to neurological issues and deformities in ball pythons. This leads to lighter brown, yellow and similar colorations. T+ albinism meaning – autosomal recessive condition, which leads to production of some melanin, but not the normal amount. T- albinism meaning – tyrosinase-negative, lack of production of tyrosinase enzyme, which accommodates conversion of tyrosine into melanin (pigment producing cells). ‘Ghi Ball’ for example, is a co-dominant trait. These offspring are often called ‘supers’. Appearance of this offspring will be different than in heterozygous or normal form. It can be called a ‘mutant’ allele, which changes the appearance in a homozygous form. Homozygous – this is when a ball python has both dominant (BB) or recessive (bb) genes.Ĭo-dominance– is when two versions of the allele (for the trait) are passed from both mother and father, resulting in a different visual appearance of homozygous vs. Heterozygous – this is when a ball python has one dominant and one recessive gene (for example Bb). Ball pythons can carry multiple recessive genes (for example be double heterozygous) at the same time. Albinism, for example, is a recessive trait. Recessive gene – for a recessive gene to be visually present in a ball python, two of those genes (passed from mother and father) need to be present. ‘Pinstripe’, for example, is a dominant trait. If there’s one dominant and one recessive gene, a dominant gene’s traits will be visually present over a recessive gene’s trait. Genes, that are passed from parents, express these traits.ĭominant gene– a dominant gene is a gene that dominates over a recessive gene. Trait – a feature that you can see in your ball python. Using genetic predictions, breeders cross various morphs to result in new ones or at least new patterns/variations/colors. Genetics explainedīefore you can research various ball python morphs, variations and crosses, you need to have some understanding of how genetics work. These designer morphs have various coloration and patterns achieved due to selective breeding and genetic prediction. In this post, you will find a list of ball python morphs with pictures and see how genetics work with breeding and prediction.īall python morphs include ball pythons that do not have a classic, or ‘normal’ color and pattern of the species. Selective breeding has allowed breeders to come up with great color and pattern ball pythons, which are called morphs (and designer morphs). We breed a large portion of the snakes we offer for sale, as well as purchase from local breeders where we can inspect them, and know who and how they are taken care of to ensure a perfect addition to your collection.Ball pythons are one of the most popular pet snakes, which means that there is a big number of ball python breeding projects. We want you to enjoy your ball python and give it the best possible care. Not only will you get high quality python, but you can always come back and ask us for tips or questions. When you buy a ball python from us, they all come with live arrival guarantee and overnight shipping. They are one of our specialties here at Snakes at Sunset. There are two categories, baby/juveniles, and larger then 500gram weight snakes for sale. We recommend two hide spots for ball pythons. Atleast a warm side of 90-95f and a cool side of 80-84f. ![]() Also Ball Pythons love to hide, and explore at night, so a red bulb for warmth is best, sometimes paired with a Zoomed Snake Heat Pad. Ball Pythons DO NOT EAT PINKIES! They eat a mouse or rat that is as thick as the thickest part of their body. We notice that most people feed ball pythons incorrectly. Its amazing how many choices you have, there is literally something for everyone. Since so many were collected, and so many hatched, dozens of different morphs were randomly hatched! That is the basis for all the captive bred, born in USA ones we now have.Īll Ball Pythons for sale are offered as captive bred. Over the years, they collect gravid females and get the eggs and incubate them in captivity from all over the region and they then let the mothers go. There are thousands of combinations of ball python morphs for sale.īall Pythons are very common in Ghana, Togo and Benin West Africa. The ball pythons for sale are guaranteed eating, and sexed correctly. ![]() Snakes at Sunset is at the leading edge of new and exciting ball python morphs. We breed many of the ball pythons for sale here. The hottest thing in the reptile world right now are Ball Python morphs. ![]()
