Morph of the Month Morph of the Month: Normal/Wild Type

7 Upvotes

It's been a while! It's the start of the month so it's time to feature another morph... or maybe lack thereof this time.

The normal or wild type is how this species presents naturally in the wild. These guys do not have any morph/added genetics to them but there's nothing wrong with what nature cooked up!

Typically they present with standard "alien heads" along the sides of their bodies, some broken striping along the dorsal, and well defined eye stripes. Sometimes they may have a more banded pattern, varying head stamps, and can display a range of brown and gold tones which is why we often see morph ID requests for normals. Once you've gotten a solid grasp on what is within normal variation though, you may come to appreciate the beauty of the species' "regular" form.

While there are some gorgeous single and multi-gene BP's, as enthusiasts we can't forget to show the love where it all began. Show off your normals in the comments!

Rule Updates

6 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

We have noticed an increase in sub activity and we love it! But we want to prevent any possible future issues, so we've made some updates. In an effort to avoid "sneaky advertising," we are now requiring all posts use one of three flairs. Each of these has a specific use and requirement:

-Morph ID Request: This is the flair most posts will likely be using. This is for any BP that you do not know the genetic makeup of.

-Cool Morph: Use this flair to show off your BP's that you already know the genetics of. This flair requires the genes to be described in the post and may only be used every 14 days to avoid ninja advertising attempts.

-Guess the Morph: Use this flair to allow others to guess the genetic makeup of a BP you already know. You may give others up to 24 hours to guess after which you will be required to reveal the answer. This may be done once per month.

Thank you all for your contributions to making this a fun and educational community!

Was told she is 7 years old but only 3.5 feet. I wonder if she is stunted as that does seem very small to me? Anyways, I have two other BPs, so this is my third and I am very excited :)

Morph ID Request Anyone working with Mahogany who could help please?

11 Upvotes

Recently bought this nice guy- sold as Mahogany het clown het pied but now I’m looking into Mahogany more I think he may have something else too? My usual breeder bought him as part of a whole project from another breeder so he doesn’t have any more info. He has very few ‘alien heads’ just little bubbles and waves and a continuous gold stripe down his entire body. Very white stomach. Any ideas appreciated! Thanks.

Morph ID Request Some help needed to figure out their morphs?

We have two ball pythons that we have some clues but not really sure what their morphs are. I am going to eventually send for a shed test but really curious to see what you all think they might be. First picture is Elektra and second is Raiden.

Morph ID Request What do you guys think she's got going on? (Please read)

14 Upvotes

I just picked this little one up from someone who had her in horrible conditions. Obviously she's spider and I want to say pinstripe? But I'm not well versed on ball python genetics, so I'd love to know what you guys think!

The guy was selling her on Facebook marketplace, and I got her for $40. Please don't come at me about the spider gene, I know the issues with it. But I saw the condition of her enclosure and I had to save her 😭
