>I read once they have paternity tests for most every domestic >animal and even some fish so why not snakes?

Just a quick answer to your question here. Most domestic animals have been fully sequenced. Ball pythons have not. Without sequence data you cannot really design a guaranteed test. For some mutations (like classic Albino) you might be able to make a guess, but even the best guess could fail if the sequence is too divergent.
