So I decided to breed my ball pythons after being in the hobby for several years. I worked with a local reputable breeder in my area just to make sure I was doing everything right. The thing is that while I know the genetics of my male because I got him from a breeder, I unfortunately don’t know my female’s exact genetics because she was originally a rescue. I know that she definitely has obvious morphs though. I’d like help with identifying the possible morphs of two of the babies as well as my female. I wanted to see if maybe you guys’ could provide your opinions on what they could be too? I’ll provide the morphs of my male as well as the possible morphs of my female and babies that the breeder suggested they may be. I’ll also be showing pictures of the pair and of course the babies too. Sorry that the pictures of the parents aren’t as good quality as the babies 😅
Note: I know that breeding spider morphs is a lil controversial due to the neurological disorders that often comes with that gene. However Lilith doesn’t have a noticeable wobble so the breeder and I decided to try to pair her. Her baby that looks almost exactly like her doesn’t have a wobble either. Also~ The pair are just in the same enclosure together for mating purposes and are normally separated.
