Genetics

There are always new combos made every season with the basic morphs, so keep your eyes and ears open. Every year has something new! I have provided a basic list of the color morphs available, but keep in mind that combos of these have been made and that this is not a complete list of all the possible morphs in the ball python world.

Co-Dominant Traits

Here is a list of the common ball python morphs that are co-dominant:

Hidden Genes?

With every new ball python that comes over from Africa, there is the possibility that there is something new in its genes. This is how all of the morphs that are common now were found originally. If you see something new and interesting in your own snake, there may be a chance that it is! All you can do it breed it out and see. Selective breeding will see whether or not there is something there.

Good luck!
