Reticulated Python Morph and Localities Guide

[Capitalboas]

Co-Dominant - Mutation is visible in a normal (heterozygous) and super (homozygous dominant) form.
Dominant – Mutation is visible and identical in heterozygous or homozygous dominant form.
Recessive – Mutation is visible in homozygous recessive form. Some mutations have visual ‘hets’ for recessive mutations.
Reticulated Pythons
Mainland- The largest group of retics, can reach 18+ feet.
Dwarf- Middle group, reach 10-16 feet.
Super Dwarf- Smallest group, max at around 8 feet.

Many thanks for the photo compilation. Very helpfull, specially for those of us who really like local morphs.

[Cobra89]

Wow this is great, thank you for taking the time to post up all this morph info on retics! I have to say Graniteback is one of my favorites.

[Aaron_S]

Thanks this is pretty cool.

Now for the morphs can you do more of who originated which morph and which locale each one was sourced from, if it matters that is.
