Even so, if you breed this one to one that looks very similar, what are the odds of developing a ball python with spotting down the sides?
There is a probability that F2 or F3 generations could be made to spot. If you take a typical wild-type, the probablity is reduced, greatly.
Striped-backs: were they not developed by those who saw the pattern on the back merging into each other and via selective breeding perfected the strip look?
In all do respects, you may know more about the genetics of ball pythons, but don't treat me as stupid. Your response has a tone of arrogance.
In my opinion, ball pythons are moderately variable in their patterns and coloration. Many other species show a greater diversity in tones and patterns. Explain to me why this one is not different.
