Genetic Stripe
“G-Stripe”
Base Morph Recessive
INTRODUCTION:
The Genetic Stripe Ball Python is a recessive mutation that alters both colour and pattern. Genetic Stripes have a thick dorsal stripe down the entire length of their bodies. This dorsal stripe can range from one complete or multiple broken-up strips.
VISUAL DESCRIPTION
Head: The head of a Genetic Stripe Ball Python is similar to that of a Normal Ball Python but with less black tones and a more gray earthy colouration.
Image from Body: Genetic Stripe Ball Pythons bodies have no side markings, with the “alien heads” completely absent. Down the center of its back it exhibits a thick, light-coloured dorsal stripe, with a black/dark-brown stripe to either side.
Belly: The belly of the Genetic Stripe Ball Python is usually clear if markings.
Tail: The tail of Genetic Stripe Ball Pythons follow the same colouration as the rest of its body, with absent “alien heads” and markings and black/dark brown stripes to either side of the main, light-coloured dorsal stripe.

Vanilla
Base Morph Incomplete Dominance (Co-dom)
INTRODUCTION:
The Vanilla Ball Python is colouration and pattern altering morph that can be difficult to tell apart from a Normal Ball Python and is extremely similar in looks to that of a Fire Ball Python, with only a few slight variations that can be used to tell the two apart without further breeding.
VISUAL DESCRIPTION
Head: The head of the Vanilla Ball Python is much like the head of a Normal Ball Pythons but with a lighter and more prominent head stamp, which usually consists of three circles close together that is often compared to an upside-down Mickey Mouse head.
Body: The “alien heads” of the Vanilla Ball Python are usually free of markings and “eyes”. The black “puzzle” pattern normally expresses slight blushing in young snakes, that gets brighter and more apparent with age.
Belly:
Tail: The tail of the Vanilla Ball Python is similar to that of a Normal Ball Pythons but following the colourations of its body.

LAVENDER ALBINO
“Lavender/Lav”
Base Morph Recessive
INTRODUCTION:
The Lavender Albino Ball Python is separate genetical line to the Albino Ball Python that are non related. Breeding a Lavender Albino to a Albino will produce double heterozygous (‘het’) offspring, with none visually carrying both genes. It is a colour mutation, meaning the pattern of a Normal Ball Python remains largely untouched but effects the pigmentations.
Lavenders show a lavender colour, in contrast to the bright white of a Albino, where the black or dark brown of a Normal Ball Python is.
VISUAL DESCRIPTION
Head: The head of a Lavender Albino Ball Python is topped with a golden yellow/orange crown, to match the colouration of the rest of its body, with the stripes of a Normal Ball Python showing through and under the eyes. Lips can be pink, lavender or rich yellow.
Body: The Lavender Albino still carries the ‘alien heads’ pattern of a Normal Ball Python but all dark pigmentation is stripped away, which gives it a large contrast against the purples, especially into adulthood.
Belly: Lavender Albino Ball Pythons very rarely show any marking on their bellies, leaving a bright white set of scales.
Tail: The tail of a Lavender Albino is just like a Normal pattern wise but following the Lavender coloration.
