Genetics

Question
I am doing a project on genetics of ball pythons, morphs and how different morphs come to be. It is for an anthropology class, and we had to pick something that interested us, and I liked doing the punnett squares and following generations and genetics, and I also happen to own a ball python. Any advise on websites, books or even just anything you know about the subject that you think might be important to include. Like I said, its for a college anthro class, so it need not be super technical. Thanks!

Answer
I cannot answer breeding questions intelligently. I am sorry but I am not a breeder (as it states in my profile) and do not know anything about morphs. However, Reptiles magazine did have a great article on the subject about 6 months ago. It has a lot of good pics too. I do not still have this issue, but I think they offer back issues online. Here is the link to the issue that you need:
http://www.reptilechannel.com/reptile-magazines/reptiles-magazine/reptiles-magaz...


I looked but cannot find the article online. If you'd like some other issues to make the collage, shoot your address to me at this email address and I will be glad to send some to you : lasher9@gmail.com

Good luck on your project!
