    I never got into the different types of ball. but maybe ya'll can tell me , spooks my 4 1/2 year old in the gold/yellow he has a green hugh on him.when i looked this up the closest thing I couldnt come up with was he was from the ghanda. im ashamed of it but spooks momma was brought out of the wild and he goes ape **** when he smells coffee grounds.
    and my nephews snake radar was his patteren is the chocholic, and light brown like he was from the desert. he was born and his momma was a captive bread
    i learned my lesson on this. thank you shy

    There is only one speciesof ball python, Python regius. However, through selective breeding, we have been able to come up with color and pattern genetic traits, called morphs. They are the exact same as "normal", or wild-type balls, they only look different.

    In example, the albino is a morph.

    Here's a great list of some common--and some uncommon--morphs.

    Some of the most common ones:

    Pinstripe

    Spider

    Ivory

    And a less common one, but one of my favorites. :D

    The Queen Bee, a triple morph, created by breeding a pastel to a spider which produces a bee, then breeding the bee to a lesser platinum. :)
