Almost all morphs and pattern mutations are recessive traits. So breeding any morph to a normal is almost guaranteed to produce only normal babies that will be heterozygous for the morph. The only time it doesnt is if your snake is heterozygous for the same morph then 50 exhibit the morph. Breeders will usually advertise a snake as being heterozygous so its unlikely your snake is heterozygous for anything. Snakes sold in pet stores are not heterozygous for any traits generally.

Remember breeding is expensive and a big commitment. You rarely make any money due to the expenses required for the process. You also have to spend the time to find good homes for the babies. You dont want to add to the market of unwanted baby reptiles.

Id like to add that almost half of all Ball Pythons morphs are codominant not just recessive. So you could get a Pastel Mojave Cinnamon Paintball or such and breed it to your normal to get morph babies.

But as stated before even in those cases your will probably get no more than 50 of the babies hatch as morphs. The rest will just be normals. Before you breed you need to have a plan to care for all of the babies in the case that you cannot sell them. And you need to be careful who you sell the babies to in order to make sure they are going to be properly cared for.

Its so sad when people breed without finding homes and end up not knowing what to do with all these little baby bps. You cant exactly dump them on the side of the road like kittens although thats equally sad

Just make SURE you have people you know will buy the snakes before you breed. Id hate to be in that situation.
