    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

RARE???

Hey guys so I thought I would ask around to see what answers I get... What are the more rare ball python morphs around currently? I see so many people advertising "jungles" and I also saw and ad for a "citrus"... I have been reluctant to ever get into the ones that you hardly hear of because of the fact that they are not common... So I just wanted to see what you guys think are the more rare bp's circulating... Also, what are your absolute favorite morph combos? Pics are always welcome!! :) This is just meant to be a fun bp thread!!!! :yesnod:
 
Jungle is actually one of the original morphs. Its mostly over looked and not mentioned. Many breeders consider them normals, or fancy normals. They have proven to be dominant, but without a super or significant pattern or color change they lost popularity. Another example is clear belly, fader, blusher, burgundy. They were out when interest first spiked in breeding ball morphs and just never turned out to be anything of interest.
 
citrus whiteout is similiar to a pastel from what I can tell, but can throw some wild variations, desert is new but not rare, bannana, saw an insane coral glow something or other, oddly enough YB triple genes aren't that common as people just start to mix them with some great results( see tom barnhart's mixes with b. pastel) My favorites are the BEL complex and sadly alot of the combos seem to be already done.
 
Thanks for those answers!! I just learned a lot! I am glad I asked because I was always wondering sbout the morphs that you hardly hear about anymore...
 
Considering how many morphs there is(over 150) it shouldn't surprise you that many many combos have yet to be done, especially combos with recessive traits.
Just take the clown gene for an example, I don't think more than 20 different clown combos have been produced if that many :)
As more and more double and triple gene snakes get produced and bred to other double and triple gene morphs we should start to see more and more new combos every season.
 
After 6 years and numerous albinos, I FINALLY have one that eats.
I just had really bad luck with them.

Some people say pieds don't eat well and I have had the exact opposite experience with pieds. She would have eaten my face if given the chance.
 
I used to think albinos were problem feeders till this girl came into my home.
I had read numerous peoples issues with them and just "assumed" they had issues staying on feed.
This girl eats anything that moves :)

Heh.. When I bought my albino, I heard about them being notoriously picky eaters but mine has always been like a garbage disposal. She'd eat anything put in front of her.
