Hello again, I am working on getting a ball python information booklet together and I wanted to make a page for Terms, definitions, and examples (written and pictured) for referance to those who might not know what they mean. (right now, basically for my mom, she has taken interest in my ball python breeding endevors and explaining what Het. means every 3 days is getting old! LOL)

So far I am having a hard time thinking of some and I would like anything ball python related, even simple things, throw them all at me!

Here are a few of the basic things I came up with:

Heterozygous (Het.)
Recessive
Morph
Hatchling
etc...

Pretty much anything you throw at me will help!

Also, if anyone can give me some pictures of morphs (preferrable on a black background) that they woulden't mind me using for the picture examples, Post away! I've got Normals for those pics! LOL

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, Don't know how I didn't find that poking around on Nerd, I already have MJ's in my favorites to use when I am trying to explain something to someone. My Husband likes to be able to go check it out too, he's just learning all the genetics stuff as we get into our first morphs. I had planned to breed years ago (didn't work out for many reasons, just now getting back into the swing of things) so I've studied everything I could get my hands on.

Thanks again! I could still use more if anyone thinks of anything that's not on these lists!
