Question
hi, im interested in a morph ball python, but i've been noticing that breeders sell them, for example, (as 1.1, 0.1 2.2, etc.. "spider" ball python).  I'm assuming it has to be the snakes genetic background but i would like to know what do these numbers represent, and what's the difference between each number? thanks

Answer
Kay, I remember asking that question myself about 16 years ago.  The numbers represent the number of males and/or females.

1.1 = 1 male.1 female
0.2 = 0 males.2 females
3.2 = 3 males.2 females
0.0.3 = 3 unsexed individuals

Hope this helps!  BPC
