I think it would be beneficial to add a little information about housing in sterilite containers - this is very cost effective and could prove to be helpful for upcoming breeders. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Stboser|Stboser]] ([[User talk:Stboser|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Stboser|contribs]]) 22:54, 11 September 2011 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Why not add some pictures of designer morphs and information on designer morphs? ==
I wonder what the problem is, is it a lack of available pictures with the right license? Or are there reasons to NOT include pictures of some varieties breeders have produced?
There are many mutations that impact the pattern, the coloration, or both, and breeders deliberately combine them to attain certain optics.
for those that have not seen it, external links to 3 stunning examples i especially like:
http://www.worldofballpythons.com/morphs/vpi-axanthic-clown/
this is a double recessive, "VPI Axanthic" knocks out the browns and yellows and "Clown" dramatically alters the pattern.
http://www.worldofballpythons.com/morphs/the-corcra-ball/
this is a 3-gene combination of 3 incomplete dominant genes: Mystic, Mojave and Enchi. Mystic and Mojave are allelic, the genes sit on the same locus and interact in a special way.
http://www.worldofballpythons.com/morphs/banana-ghi/
this is a 2-gene combination of two incomplete dominant genes, Banana and GHI, both genes are on their own very valuable and in high demand.
http://www.worldofballpythons.com/morphs/highway-ball/
another 2-gene combination of two allelic genes.
Heck, we could do an entire article on ball python designer morphs. Many professional breeders combine and stack up genes for a living, and prices for the right combinations of rare and valuable genes can easily reach into the tens of thousnds of dollars. Breeders combine up to 7 different genes in their quest to produce snakes with new optics. So far there are over 100 different genes that breeders use to manipulate color and pattern and over 2000 combinations of these genes. I really wonder why none of this is to be found anywhere on Wikipedia, whats the holdup, where is the roadblock?
