Base Morph Incomplete Dominance (Co-dom)

INTRODUCTION:

The Cinnamon Ball Python is an incomplete dominance (co-dom) mutation that alters both colour and pattern. The name Cinnamon comes from the deep reds that are on show on top of a deep brown (almost chocolate like) background.

VISUAL DESCRIPTION

Head: The head of a Cinnamon Ball Python is a dark shade of brown that fades towards the neck. Lips usually display bright pink/white scales.

|602x451.98106923025165Image from Hector at 7Snakes

Body: The body of the Cinnamon Ball Python is usually dominated by large chains of “alien heads/keyholes” either connected or very closely beside one another. Where yellows and orange of a Normal Ball Python are, the Cinnamon expresses various shades of brown and cream.

|633.3122312154494x451Image from Hector at 7Snakes

Belly: The belly of a Cinnamon Ball Python can shows light patterning and mild spotting along its edges, over bright white scales, however, usually it is clear of markings.

Base Morph Incomplete Dominance (Co-dom)

INTRODUCTION:

The GHI Ball Python is a colour and pattern altering mutation that is easily recognisable from a Normal Ball Python by its extremely dark “puzzle” pattern and strong golden “alien heads”. The GHI was first proved Genetic by Matt Lerer after finding three identical and unusual Ball Pythons in a shipment of imported animals.

VISUAL DESCRIPTION

Head: The head of a GHI Ball Python is covered completely with black scales, with marking being very rare. Bright yellowy-gold stripes show as they would with a Normal Ball Python but with more intense colouration.

|641.9287774928806x451Image from Darren Biggs at Crystal Palace Reptiles

Body: The body of the GHI Ball Python has “alien heads” that express a hollowness to them, leaving mis-shaped “rings/splatters” of gold the whole way through, with large amounts of spotting. Along the sides silvery flames can bee seen across the almost pitch background.

|602x452.1567795741509Image from MWR

Belly: The belly of the GHI Ball Python varies from completely clear of pattern and markings to heavily murky and spotted.

|757.4964991624789x451Image from JME Reptiles

Tail: Tail tail of the GHI Ball Python tends to show the same hollow “alien heads” that are visible on its body, to either side of a bright-gold dorsal stripe.

Base Morph Incomplete Dominance (Co-dom)

INTRODUCTION:

The Black Pastel Ball Python is a colour and pattern altering mutation that is similar to both the GHI and Cinnamon Ball Pythons, however are a separate lineage. Black Pastels are easily told apart from a Normal Ball Python by their heavily contrasting black/dark-browns against earthy-browns and golds.

VISUAL DESCRIPTION

Head: Black Pastel Ball Pythons have a very dark head, ranging from chocolate-brown to almost black. The eye stripes are a more earthy colour than that of a Normal Ball Python.

|602x802.8611098168943Image from Serpentswitch117

Body: The body of a Black Pastel Ball Python is usually completely covered in hollow “alien heads”, much like the GHI Ball Python. Dark blushing can be seen along the black “puzzle” pattern and heavy flaming up its sides.

|602.7951514852933x451Image from Serpentswitch117

Belly: The belly of the Black Pastel Ball Python is usually clean and completely clear of pattern.

|602x452.0614357077108Image from Serpentswitch117

“(VPI)”

|602x801.8891230011354Image from Fishlock Reptiles

Base Morph Recessive

INTRODUCTION:

The Axanthic Ball Python is a recessive mutation that alters both colour and pattern. Most of the various lines of Axanthics are not compatible with one another, therefore, in most cases, to produce a visual Axanthic both animals need to be from the same line. Axanthics have reduced colouration throughout their body, enhancing blacks, grays and whites.

VISUAL DESCRIPTION

Head: The head of a Axanthic Ball Python is similar to that of a Normal Ball Python but with less earthy tones.

|602x660.0782302284671Image from Hector at 7Snakes

Body: Axanthic Ball Pythons bodies tend to have reduced markings with the "alien heads"and a pale blushing along the black “puzzle” pattern.

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.

|602x466.56332706246667Image from SNL Exotics

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.

LAVENDER ALBINO
“Lavender/Lav”

|602x481.71666589013654Image from Ryan Homsey

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.

|643.3091288004067x451Image from SnakesSK

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.

|681.2910036292573x451Image from Martin Ender at Piebald Rules

Belly: Lavender Albino Ball Pythons very rarely show any marking on their bellies, leaving a bright white set of scales.

|602x495.36530475702375Image from unkn0vvn1221

Tail: The tail of a Lavender Albino is just like a Normal pattern wise but following the Lavender coloration.

Just in case you want to add another banana picture - my banana enchi boy. He’s a malemaker because his super siblings are all males so there’s daddy’s Y banana involved

Worldofballpythons.com has a genetic wizard with thousands of morphs loaded. It’s been around for years. Give it a check.

It has but they don’t update it anymore. A lot missing.

I know, but there is vert little detail for each morph.
I want this to eventually become a community made encyclopedia, with myself just making the base for experienced breeders and keepers to work from.

The great thing about this place is instantly a user can tell me something I have entered is wrong and it can be changed there and then with open discussion.

:blush: thank you :blush:

No offense but that one sucks a lot. Missing alternative names of combos, not enough photos for reference, dead links everywhere, and the last time i tried to search some morphs it straight up froze showing absolutely nothing at all. Plus, it provides zero explanation or warnings which morphs cause wobbles (for a long time i though it’s spider only. I had to find this forum to underatand there’s more) and has no tools to identify complexes and stuff and i had to search google for bp genetics for days to learn why lesser phantom bamboo is not an option for example. The only good thing that site does is genetic wizard calculating possible combos of pairing but then again, you have to know what you have to begin with. All and all, for me as a beginner searching for informations without knowing what i am looking for exactly, wobp is a waste of time.

I love the blank alien heads on ODs, such a beautiful animal to have.

I found it one of the most useful sites for info when I started. No site has everything but it has a lot of info on what pairings produce and what breeders are out there. Also has a lot of info on breeding and how that process works step by step with pictures. Not to mention about 20-30 videos with a section with an entire care sheet. But to each is own. Again no one source had it all. Check out VPI’s book on Balls. Also Kevin from N.E.R.D has a couple books published that are helpful.
