    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....

male and female the guy i git them from told me that they have never been separated so if i wanted to breed them what should i do separate them or leave them together
 
Separate them. You have a few months to read up on ball breeding before it's time. I'd separate them, put some weight on them, and read everything you can find.
 
i dont really understand the whol morph thing di it just happen one day someone got a deformed ball or was it cross bred inbred what causesthe deformity?
 
Last July I had no idea what a morph was either, I spent months doing research. People can tell you on here but honestly you will need to read up on it. There are some great websites. http://www.ralphdavisreptiles.com/matrix/ this one is really good and it is pretty easy to understand. Also if you have $80 buy Pythons of the world volume II (http://www.vpi.com/store). This book is awesome and will tell you every thing you need to know about ball pythons and where the different morphs come from.
There are other sites that are really informative but these two are a great place to start.
Good luck on your adventure, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
 
I forgot to say... I also have a high yellow bp. If you look at some of my threads you can see pics of him.
