I read somewhere that it is better to breed 100% hets to normals to have a better chance at getting a morph. Is this right? It seems to me you would be better off with 2 hets.

Breeding a het to normal will give you 50% hets. then you have to hold back the babies and breed them to the original het. With het to het you will have a 25% chance of getting the morph and the rest will be 66% het. I think thats right.

Breeding the babies back to one of the parents is OK?

yes, its not quite like with humans. But you would want to add unrelated blood into your lines.

its only ok to breed them back to the parents if they are from west virginia

also on that note

Q: whats the difference between new york and west virginia

A: in new york moosehead is a beer in west virginia its a felony

You can't get a morph from breeding a Het to normal, unless your dealing with co-dom. You can only get a morph, breeding het to het.

What are the co-dom traits, and what is morphs, I am just confused on how you classify them, also are there any visible hets, besides the fireball? I have heard that axatnics have a more defined white around the lateral blotches

..all that information (and much more) is available right here.
...start reading. lol

When you are good and confused go here. http://www.2amcreations.com/ballpythons_morph_criteria.html

...and then read some more on the genetics here.
http://www.newenglandreptile.com/care.html

..and if you have not already done,then read this too.

Those three links should cover most any questions you may have.

Good luck

i think nerd has the genetics tables and the lists of co-doms,and recessive tables

thanks alot, it doesnt really matter to me which is co dom or a "morph" I think that the normal pattern is the prettiest, but a pied is right there, thanks for the responses

thanks
