My son is interested in breeding some of his pythons

Firstly welcome to the community :slight_smile:

Why does he want axanthics?
If its the black and white, they don’t stay black and white in ball pythons as they age unlike corns for example.
I suggest he look at adult pictures of snakes on morphmarket or the forum.
Maybe he has, I dont know but for other internet readers of this discussion its a good point to make.
See what adult morphs look like and what he likes then. That’s how i picked the ones I wanted to breed.
Most ball pythons change a lot with age. Some improve colour others not.
Also blood line makes a difference.
Its best to get a morph you will still love when it changes.
Many change for the better too.

Just a thought.
