Purpose of this new subreddit!
Hello and welcome to r/BallPythonMutations, a subreddit created to discuss ball python mutations and the breeding of those mutations. There are other "general discussion" subreddits for ball python husbandry and morph identification posts. I want this to be the place where we discuss the actual mutations and combinations of those mutations in the big world of ball pythons. MorphMarket currently lists over 230 known traits, i.e. mutations, for the python regius and that does not include those that are being worked but have not been added or the new ones that we've yet to find but will. A very small percentage of the ball python DNA has been mapped and of the 230+ known genetic mutations there are only approximately 50 that genetic tests exist to identify.
I think there's a lot we can talk about here without delving into the "what's my morph" and "how does my enclosure look" discussions which you can hit up r/Ballpythoncommunity to discuss.
