Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

morph/het question
Alright everyone. I'm not really a ball kind of guy, but I need some help here. A buddy of mine is looking to buy a mojave, and the person he was looking to buy from says that he has parents that are non-visual hets for mojave. I was just wondering if that was even possible in ball pythons. Sometimes genetics are wacky but that seems odd to me because as far as I know mojave is a co-dom gene right?
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

No. Generally, it is stated that Mojave is a codominant trait.... Mojave is a visual het for a blue eyed leucistic (which is the homozygous form).

So you can't have a normal that will produce mojave?

Sure you can...sort of.
A normal can produce mojaves when bred to a mojave or mojave BEL.
But two normal looking snakes won't produce a mojave (allowing for the fact that the first one had to come from somewhere - a genetic anomoly - so it could theoretically happen...but nobody would accept the claim unless it could be solidly substantiated).

But not if both parents are normal in appearance.
