................................
At this time, there are two accepted types of albino
ball pythons. The best known and the first to be bred in captivity is the
classic albino that was first bred by Bob Clark. This albino has a normal
pattern. The pale pattern elements are white and the dark pattern elements are
orange-gold or dark yellow in hatchlings and yellow in adults. These albinos
fit the description of tyrosinase-negative (t-) albinism, and have pink tongues
and pink eyes. This type of albinism has been bred through three generations
and is inherited as a simple recessive trait.
The first impression of a caramel albino ball python
is of a richly colored yellow snake. The pattern is normal. The pale pattern
elements are yellow or yellow-gold, the dark pattern elements are a medium
purplish-gray, sometimes bordered in white on the lower sides of the body. This
is likely a form of tyrosinase-positive (or t+) albinism, although that has yet
to be conclusively demonstrated. Caramel albinos have pale stomachs and pink
tongues. They have dark eyes that reflect a deep ruby red when a light is
shined in them (a normally pigmented eye appears black and reflects no light
when a light is shined in it).
Ini kemungkinan bentuk albinoisme tyrosinase-positif (atau t +), meskipun itu belum dapat ditunjukkan secara meyakinkan. Albino karamel ,caramel memiliki perut pucat dan lidah merah jambu. Mereka memiliki mata gelap yang mencerminkan merah rubi yang dalam saat cahaya bersinar di dalamnya (mata yang biasanya berpigmen tampak hitam dan tidak memantulkan cahaya saat ada cahaya di dalamnya).
We believe that this type of albinism is inherited as
a simple recessive trait, but that has not been demonstrated. This is a rare
mutation-only two or three true caramel albino ball pythons have been collected
in the wild, far fewer than the number of wild-caught t- albinos. At the time
of this writing, there are eggs incubating from which F2 caramel albinos are
expected to hatch. This type of albinism has been observed in blood pythons,
Sumatran short-tailed pythons and reticulated pythons; at the time of this
writing, it has been shown to be inheritable as a simple recessive trait only
in blood pythons.
.....................................
Ball Python Genetics:
Ball pythons are available in well over
100 color and pattern combinations. There is no animal on earth that has
shown as much genetic variation as ball pythons. Some of the earlier
morphs originated from wild-caught or farm-raised snakes in Africa in the
1990s. Odd-colored or patterned ball pythons were occasionally found and
offered to breeders in the US. Examples of these early morphs are albino,
hypo, clown, caramel
albino, axanthic, piebald, and pastel. As the demand for rare color
morphs rose, more morphs were discovered and made their way into
captive-breeding collections. Most of these morphs sold for tens of
thousands of dollars when the first babies became available. As more of
them were produced, their prices dropped. However, every year, new morphs
are produced by combining some of the existing morphs and occasionally, a new
morph is found in Africa and becomes established in collections.
We were the first breeders in the
world to produce the Caramel Albino Spiders (2009) and were among the first to
produce Killer Clowns (2009).
Every year, new combinations are added
together to produce new morphs. Keeping up with all of them can be very
difficult, even for someone who does it full-time! It is extremely
important to understand the genetics behind these morphs, in order to figure
out how to combine them to reproduce them, or to produce new ones. The
information below is a very brief overview of leopard gecko genetics:
Terminology:
Heterozygous (het)- A ball that is listed as a "het" means it is carrying a recessive gene, but not actually showing it. When bred to other geckos showing or carrying the same recessive gene, the visible morph can be produced.
Heterozygous (het)- A ball that is listed as a "het" means it is carrying a recessive gene, but not actually showing it. When bred to other geckos showing or carrying the same recessive gene, the visible morph can be produced.
The Normal (wild-type) ball python is the
dominant type.
Normal x Normal = all Normals
Simple-recessive
Example: Albino
Albino x Albino = all Albino
Albino x Het Albino = 1/2 Albinos and 1/2 Het Albinos
Albino x Normal = all Het Albinos
Het Albino x Het Albino = 1/4 Albinos, 1/4 Normals, and 1/2 Het Albinos. 3 out of 4 babies will come out looking normal, and 2 out of those 3 should come out Hets, so all normal-looking babies would be considered 66% Possible Hets.
Example: Albino
Albino x Albino = all Albino
Albino x Het Albino = 1/2 Albinos and 1/2 Het Albinos
Albino x Normal = all Het Albinos
Het Albino x Het Albino = 1/4 Albinos, 1/4 Normals, and 1/2 Het Albinos. 3 out of 4 babies will come out looking normal, and 2 out of those 3 should come out Hets, so all normal-looking babies would be considered 66% Possible Hets.
Double Recessive:
Combining 2 different recessive genes.
Example: Albino and Piebald
Albino x Piebald = all normals that are Het Albino and Het Piebald- considered Double Het Albino Piebald. You have to breed these double hets to each other to produce a snake that shows both Albino and Piebald traits at the same time- an Albino Piebald.
Double Het Albino Piebald x Double Het Albino Piebald will produce normals, albinos, and piebalds. Each egg has a 1 in 16 chance of producing an Albino Piebald.
Combining 2 different recessive genes.
Example: Albino and Piebald
Albino x Piebald = all normals that are Het Albino and Het Piebald- considered Double Het Albino Piebald. You have to breed these double hets to each other to produce a snake that shows both Albino and Piebald traits at the same time- an Albino Piebald.
Double Het Albino Piebald x Double Het Albino Piebald will produce normals, albinos, and piebalds. Each egg has a 1 in 16 chance of producing an Albino Piebald.
Dominant:
Example: Spider
Spider x Normal = 1/2 Spiders and 1/2 Normals
Spider x Spider = all Spiders
Example: Spider
Spider x Normal = 1/2 Spiders and 1/2 Normals
Spider x Spider = all Spiders
Dominant x Recessive:
Dominant Example: Spider
Recessive Example: Albino
Spider x Albino = 1/2 Spider Het Albinos and 1/2 Normal Het Albinos
Dominant Example: Spider
Recessive Example: Albino
Spider x Albino = 1/2 Spider Het Albinos and 1/2 Normal Het Albinos
To produce Albino Spiders, you have to
breed the following:
Spider Het Albino x Albino = 1/4 Spider Het Albinos, 1/4 Normal Het Albinos, 1/4 Albinos, and 1/4 Spider Albinos
Spider Het Albino x Albino = 1/4 Spider Het Albinos, 1/4 Normal Het Albinos, 1/4 Albinos, and 1/4 Spider Albinos
Co-dominant (incompete-dominant):
This type is dominant to the normal, meaning you can breed it to normals and produce some snakes showing the morph. There is also a super form of co-dominant morphs.
Example: Pastel
Pastel x Normal = 1/2 Pastels and 1/2 Normals
Pastel x Pastel = 1/4 Normals, 1/2 Pastels, and 1/4 Super Pastels
Super Pastel x Normal = all Pastels
Super Pastel x Pastel = 1/2 Pastels and 1/2 Super Pastels
Super Pastel x Super Pastel = all Super Pastels
This type is dominant to the normal, meaning you can breed it to normals and produce some snakes showing the morph. There is also a super form of co-dominant morphs.
Example: Pastel
Pastel x Normal = 1/2 Pastels and 1/2 Normals
Pastel x Pastel = 1/4 Normals, 1/2 Pastels, and 1/4 Super Pastels
Super Pastel x Normal = all Pastels
Super Pastel x Pastel = 1/2 Pastels and 1/2 Super Pastels
Super Pastel x Super Pastel = all Super Pastels
Dominant x Co-Dominant:
Dominant Example: Spider
Co-Dominant Example: Pastel
Dominant Example: Spider
Co-Dominant Example: Pastel
Spider x Pastel = 1/4 Normals, 1/4
Spiders, 1/4 Pastels, and 1/4 Bumblebees (Pastel Spiders)
Super Pastel x Spider = 1/2 Pastels x 1/2 Bumblebees
Bumblebee x Pastel = Normals, Pastels, Super Pastels, Bumblebees, and Killerbees (Super Pastel Spiders)
KillerBee x Pastel=Pastels, Super Pastels, Bumblebees, and Killerbees
Super Pastel x Spider = 1/2 Pastels x 1/2 Bumblebees
Bumblebee x Pastel = Normals, Pastels, Super Pastels, Bumblebees, and Killerbees (Super Pastel Spiders)
KillerBee x Pastel=Pastels, Super Pastels, Bumblebees, and Killerbees
Co-Dominant x Recessive:
Co-Dominant Example: Pastel
Recessive Example: Piebald
Pastel x Piebald = 1/2 Pastels and 1/2 Normals, all of which are Het Piebald.
Co-Dominant Example: Pastel
Recessive Example: Piebald
Pastel x Piebald = 1/2 Pastels and 1/2 Normals, all of which are Het Piebald.
To produce a ball showing both the Pastel
AND Piebald, the one of the following breedings must be done:
Pastel Het Piebald x Piebald = 1/4 Normal
Het Piebalds, 1/4 Pastel Het Piebalds, 1/4 Piebalds, and 1/4 Pastel Piebalds.
Pastel Het Piebald x Pastel Het Piebald =
Normals , Pastels, Super Pastels, Piebalds, Pastel Piebalds, and Super Pastel
Piebalds. All non-Piebalds in this combination would be considered 66%
possible het Piebald.
Pastel Piebald x Pastel Het Piebald = Normal
Het Piebald, Pastel Het Piebald, Super Pastel Het Piebald, Piebald, Pastel
Piebald, and Super Pastel Piebald.
Super Pastel Piebald x Pastel Piebald =
1/2 Pastel Piebald and 1/2 Super Pastel Piebald
Super Pastel Piebald x Super Pastel Het
Piebald = 1/2 Super Pastel Het Piebald and 1/2 Super Pastel Piebald.
Super Pastel Piebald x Super Pastel
Piebald = all Super Pastel Piebalds
Keep in mind that these statistics are "on average". There can be variations within any given clutch of eggs. The more clutches that are produced, the more likely the ratios are likely to come out correct.
There are more complicated scenarios with
double or triple recessives crossed with double or triple co-dominants.
Every generation where new combinations are bred together, the genetics
can get more and more complicated!
Other intersting facts about ball python
genetics:
Blue Eye Leucistics: There are several morphs of ball pythons which
are very closely-related, which are capable of producing Blue Eye
Leucistics. Mojaves, Lesser Platinums, Butters, and Russo-line Het
Leucistics will all produce Leucistics when bred to the same morph or to any of
the others listed. The Mojave x Mojave Leucistics tend to have darker
heads and a little more body coloration, but the other combinations are
usually pure white.
Butters and Lessers are basically the same
morph. There is some variation within the morph and between the morphs,
but they physically look pretty much the same and both produce leucisitcs.
Cinnamons vs Black Pastels: These two morphs have some differences, but
look pretty similar overall. They are closely-related, though.
Super Black Pastels tend to be almost pure black where Super Cinnamons are
usually a deep chocolate brown. Breeding a Cinnamon to a Black Pastel
will produce Supers.
Different Pastel Bloodlines: Pastels originated in several different
breeding programs from imported pastels. Special names were attached to
certain bloodlines, and these bloodlines may have special
characteristics. However, they are all compatible with each other so
genetically, they are the same. A beautiful pastel is a beautiful pastel,
no matter what bloodline it originated from and the same goes for an average or
below average pastel.
Different
Albino Bloodlines:
There are several different types of albino ball pythons- typical albinos,
caramel albinos, and lavender albinos. Different genes are responsible
for the color of each of these types, and they are not compatible with each
other. If you cross an albino with a lavender albino, all of the babies
will be normal and would be double het for both types.
Darah Albino yang berbeda: Ada beberapa jenis ular bp albino - albino khas, albino karamel,caramel albino, dan albino lavender. Gen yang berbeda bertanggung jawab atas warna masing-masing jenis ini, dan keduanya tidak kompatibel satu sama lain. Jika Anda menyilangkan albino dengan albino lavender, semua bayi akan normal dan akan menjadi dua kali lipat untuk kedua jenis tersebut.
Different Axanthic Bloodlines: There are at least 3 different lines of
axanthic ball pythons- Jolliff, SnakeKeeper, and VPI. These are
incompatible with each other. If you breed one to another, normal babies
that are double het for both types will be produced.
Spider "Head Wobble": This term refers to a trait that virtually all
spiders show. In most cases, a spider will show slight movement, or
wobbling of the head when the snake holds its head off the ground. In
more severe cases, the snake may seem to lose orientation when it is excited or
agitated. Nearly all spiders showing this trait live normal, healthy
lives. It seems that the trait is just something we have to live with to
have this beautiful pattern in our collections.
Multiple Males Fathering a Clutch: If more than one male breeds with a female
during a breeding cycle, it is possible for each of them to father part of a
clutch. For example: If a pinstripe and a spider both breed a
single normal female, it is possible for both spiders and pinstripes to be
produced.
Ball Python genetics can definitely be
challenging, but the challenge is a big part of the fun in breeding them.
Breeding new combinations of morphs together can produce some absolutely
amazing animals. The key is to always keep learning. Once you
understand how the genes work, it gets easier to predict that the outcome will
be. Producing all these color morphs is what keeps breeding ball pythons
so fascinating.
Enjoy!

Wobble/Neuro
A condition
present in quite a few morphs is what we call "The Wobble". It is
known to appear in Spider, Woma, Hidden Gene Woma, Champagne, Super Sable, and
Powerball. It also shows in Jaguar Carpet Pythons. An even more severe wobble
is known to appear in Sable x Spider, and Champagne x Hidden Gene Woma combos.
For the purpose of this article, I'm going to refer to the following morphs as
"Wobblers". This was orginally written with the Spider gene in mind,
but can apply to the other Wobblers.
Anyone who owns
one of the Wobblers or seen one in person, most likely already knows what I'm
talking about when I refer to "The Wobble". Wobblers have an apparent
neurological issue. Which I think the best way to describe it is that they
essentially lose their equilibrium, moving in directions they normally wouldn't
move in. You may not even see it, it can be a subtle as them just tilting their
head once in a while, shaking in their head. It can be as bad as them
corkscrewing their body in the air almost uncontrollably. It could only happen
during feedings or other potentially exciting situations for the snake or it
could just be a constant occurrence. The snake could have no signs as a baby
and show it as an adult or have it as a baby and grow out of it.
What I am getting
at is, this is very variable, every Wobbler is different.
Search
"Spider ball python wobble" on Youtube and you can see some of the
extreme cases of the wobble. Now it must be clarified that most Wobblers are
nowhere near as badly afflicted as those you will see online. Don't let those
select few deter you from these morphs. The majority are subtle and won't
exhibit a extreme wobble.
The wobble is
linked to the gene. The normals that come out of the same clutch as a Wobbler
don't have the wobble, the condition is only present in Wobblers. Anything with
a Wobbler gene in it, whether it be a Bumblebee or one of NERD's crazy
creations, will all have the wobble. Breeding a low wobble Wobbler can result
in some offspring with a bad wobble. Breeding a Wobbler with a bad wobble can
result in low wobble offspring. There appears to be no way to selectively breed
it out.
I have herd a
myth that inbreeding may cause the wobble. I will be bold and say the Spider is
the most out-crossed morph (meaning breeding unrelated animals) in the ball
python world. There is no proven Super Spider, so Spider x Spider breeding are
very rare today. So the myth is false, it is in no way related to inbreeding.
A question
often asked is "What if my snake can't eat because of the wobble?"
The combos with the severe wobble can have this problem. As for the other
Wobblers, in all of my research, I have only found 1 person that made a claim
that they had a baby with a wobble that was so bad, it could not eat. One
Spider out of the multiple-thousands of Wobblers out there. With that said if
one pops up that cannot eat, by design it will not be around. But besides that
one case, they all eat, poop, breed, and live healthy lives in captivity.
Some of you
may be asking "Why would you breed a snake with a defect?" There is
actually a small debate on the ethics of breeding Wobblers. Here is my personal
opinion on the matter. We breed them because it's a morph, in truth every morph
is a "defect". People have brought up the arguement that they would not
fair well in the wild. My response would be, they are only going to remain in
captivity and they eat, poop, breed, live healthy lives just like any other
ball python in captivity. The Spider morph has been doing great in the ball
python world since 1999 and is considered a staple morph by most hobbyists for
any collection.
Now I will
also share a theory based a some limited animals I have interacted with.
I don't
believe the wobble is going to be seperated from these morphs. There is too
much evidence it is linked directly to the gene, but I think it can be reduced.
I see stress levels might play a factor in the amount of wobble the Spider's
show. As stated before, every snake is different, but I have personally seen
how changing homes can bring a minimal wobble, to horrible wobble, to minimal
wobble again. Many people report only seeing signs of it while only feeding, or
only while being handled. I feel this strengthens the idea that stress or
excitement can elevate the condition.
I know this
may be a touchy subject for some Wobbler owners whose snakes exhibit a
particularly bad wobble. They may feel like i'm saying their not taking care of
their snake correctly. I will say if your snake is eating and living a healthy
life, you are doing a great job, there may be Wobblers that will always have
the bad wobble, but also it may need extra accommodations beyond the normal to
feel less stressed (ex. extra hide, more foliage, less direct light, ect). Yes,
I am suggesting the 2 hide, water bowl, cookie cutter setup may not be right
for every ball python in general and the Wobblers just shows it. I have talked
this over with many people and online and I think it all comes to the same
conclusion that it's near impossible to test this theory. Some people have
stories that strengthen the theory and some have stories that 100% conflict
with it. So take it as you wish. If you have any input on this feel free to
contect me, it would be great to hear what you have to say.
Black Head x Spider
We have
rescently found out that the Black Head gene appears to mask the wobble when
paired with Spider. This doesn't cure the wobble, as Spider offspring will
still have a wobble, but it is reported that Spider Black Head combos do not
wobble. It is unknown if this works with any other morphs.
Sable x Spider
Along with the
severe wobble issue, the Sable x Spider combo has issues even thriving in the
first place.
Spider Champagne
t is reported
that this combo does not live very long after hatching.
Pearl
Pearls that
are alive display a sereve wobble and do not thrive for long. Known to be
Lethal. However, there was a snake that is thought to be a Soulsucker Pearl
(Homozygous Hidden Gene Woma, Heterozygous Lesser) that not only thrives, it
displays no wobble at all. Hopefully there will be more information soon.
Super Champagne
So far two
have been hatched and did not thrive very long at all. Appears to be homozygous
lethal.
Super Spider
There was a
long running debate about the Super Spider that can be concluded as being
homozygous lethal, the explination gets its own page here.
Desert
There is
significant evidence that Desert females are not able to produce viable eggs.
There are many reports of females becoming egg bound and when they do lay, all
slug eggs. One theory was that the females can not thermoregulate their eggs
correctly and cook them. So a few have kept their females in a cooler cage in
hopes of good eggs and so far they have all still laid slugs. Many are trying
different methods to see if they can get the females to lay viable eggs, but so
far have been unsucessful.
Caramel Albino
Caramel
Albinos are known for having a very high kink rate. This means they can be born
with a deformed spine. The kinks may or may not be an issue with the animal's
ability to thrive. Also Caramel Albino Females are known for having what we
call sub-fertility issues.
Albinos karamel,caramel labino dikenal memiliki tingkat kekerapan yang sangat tinggi. Ini berarti mereka bisa terlahir dengan tulang belakang yang cacat. Kinks mungkin nya atau mungkin tidak menjadi masalah dengan kemampuan hewan untuk berkembang. Juga Caramel Albino Females dikenal karena memiliki apa yang kita sebut masalah sub-kesuburan.
They can lay
viable eggs, just there seem to be extreamly high rate of slugs for many. Now
with that said, I have talked to a few breeders who have zero issues with the
morph on both accounts and claim they do not do anything out of the ordinary.
Hopefully more information can come out about this gorgeous morph.
Super Cinnamon
& Super Black Pastel
Super
Cinnamons/Black Pastels sometimes have an issue called a duckbill. They can
have a narrowed nose near their eyes, making the end of their nose look wider,
giving the illision they have a bill. I have read of a few cases where the
deformity was too great for the animal to eat, but most of the time, it does
not seem to effect their eating or cause any other issues, they just look
different. There are also reports of having a higher than normal kink rate,
while it still appears to be pretty rare.
Super Lesser
Platinum & Super Butter
Super Lesser
Platinums/Butters are known for sometimes having bug eyes. All this means is
their eye ball sticks out farther from their head than a normal ball python
would. Besides looking different, there are no issues with the bug eyes.
Lesser Platinum x
Piebald
It is repoted
many Lesser Platinum x Piebald have smaller than normal eyes, it does not
appear to affect them.
Banana & Coral
Glow
I will start
with the only thing that is fact about this gene. Female Banana/CG appear to be
completely normal, as they throw typical clutch results, something close to,
25% male banana, 25% female banana, 25% normal male, 25% normal female. Male
Banana/CG tend to throw weird ratios outside of the typical. That is all that
is fact at the time I am writing this.
Now I have
heard it explained in a complicated ways. I have also heard it call a
sex-linked mutation, which what is being reported does not fit the definition
of sex-linked. Honestly at the time I am writing this, I see nothing that
doesn't point toward this simple explaination. If the male Banana/CG came from
a female Banana/CG, then it will mostly produce female Banana/CG and very few
male Banana/CG, also meaning it will produce mostly male normals and very few
female normals. If the male Banana/CG came from a male Banana/CG, then it will
mostly produce male Banana/CG and very few female Banana/CG, also meaning it
will produce mostly female normals and very few male normals. Now as for why
the gene acts this way and why it only happens to males? I haven't seen an
explaination without any holes in it yet. Hopefully time will reveal more
answers for us.
