What ball python morphs are dominant? ›

When bred to other ball pythons showing or carrying the same recessive gene, the visible morph can be produced. Normal (wild-type) ball python is the dominant type.

Albino Amelanistic, Tyrosinase (T-) Albino

The albino was the first proven recessive ball python mutation. Albinos are amelanistic, with no dark pigments, leaving a bright yellow and white snake with pink/red eyes and are key to some of the must-have designer mutations.

The Enchi ball python morph is known for its enhanced colors and bold patterns. It intensifies and brightens the natural pigmentation, resulting in vivid yellows, oranges, and browns. The Enchi morph is cherished for its vibrant and distinct appearance and is often bred into multi-gene morph combinations.

The most expensive ball python in the world is always going to be whichever morph is newest and rarest. At one point, the lavender albino ball python was just such a morph. One sold for $40,000, making it the highest known price paid for a ball python to date.

Ghost - Also known as Hypo or Hypomelanistic. The “Ghost” is a recessive mutation that reduces the black pigmentation. Although there are many different lines of ghosts, they generally follow the same general description. Ghosts are varying shades of yellow, brown, grey and green.

There are several other morphs that have the same wobble syndrome, but for the sake of this write up, I will only speak of the wobble in terms of the spider morph. The other morphs with wobble are Champagne, Hidden Gene Woma, Woma, Super Sable, Powerball (Spotnose x Spotnose), Super Blackhead, and Super Cypress.

The Black Pastel Ball Python Morph is a different form of the popular reptile. The variation exists with its color that is the result of a co-dominant mutation. Only one copy of this gene is necessary to get this color.

The Banana Python Morph is a popular ball python morph that was first proven out in 2003. It is a co-dominant mutation. This is similar to a dominant mutation, only that there is a Super form of the Banana Ball Python if two of the alleles contain the mutation.

The cinnamon trait heavily alters an affected ball python's pattern and overall coloration. As a result, cinnamon ball pythons have several identifying traits that clearly set them apart from wild-type ball pythons and other morphs.

The Purple Passion is just one of these morphs, first appearing in 2007 and slowly gaining popularity ever since. This beautiful morph is unique and eye-catching indeed and high on the list of many reptile enthusiast's dream morphs.

The Mojave Ball Python and Its Many Uses

The Blue Eyed Lucy can be made using this gene and crossing it to anything from a Lesser and Butter to Mochas and Russos. You can make a BEL by breeding two Mojaves together but the Super Mojave Ball will have a grey colored head and neck, which may defeat the purpose.

The Rainbow gene is giving this snake it's amazing purple, orange, and yellow coloration, along with those ruby red eyes. The Hypo gene causes the snake to lack melanin, which is the black coloration displayed in ball pythons. The Hypo gene will help this snakes colors enhance as it ages.

Mystic ball pythons are the result of an incomplete dominant gene mutation within the species. The gene alters both color and pattern and is used in a wide variety of combinations to create other beautiful and unique morphs.

The genetic variations of morphs span a wide range and include a variety of colors and patterns. Ball Python morphs can be pure white and include colors like orange, pink, yellow and purple and colors and hues of nearly everything in between.

The Albino Burmese is rare because only a few hatchlings will actually hatch with the distinctive “albino” coloring. Albinism is a genetic mutation in the DNA where the body does not produce melanin (pigment) which results in white skin or scales. In the wild, Burmese pythons are usually dark brown in color.

World's rarest snake

The Saint Lucia racer is almost certainly the rarest snake in the world, a title inherited from its close neighbour in the Caribbean, the Antiguan racer. This small, harmless snake was once abundant on Saint Lucia's mainland, but today numbers possibly as few as 20 individuals.

The Leucistic (White) Ball Python morph is an impressive and striking animal, whether it has black eyes or blue. It's an extremely rare morph but becoming more popular as breeders become more proficient at creating them.

Black-headed pythons are fairly common in the Northern areas of Austrailia and Queensland. They have also recently become a popular snake breed to own as a pet. Because of their more docile nature, they are easier to handle and have a better tolerance for human contact.
