Maple

Gene

Maple is a ball python color gene with a hypo-like look. Breeders describe it as recessive, and published clutch records fit that: a visual Maple bred to a non-carrier gave only hets. A snake needs two copies to show it.

How Maple works

Ball pythons show Maple only with two copies. One copy makes a het, which looks normal but can pass Maple on.

How Long Do Ball Pythons Live? Lifespan, Aging, and Records

Ball pythons commonly live 15 to 20 years in captivity, and some live longer. Merck gives that planning range, while the Royal Veterinary College says up to 25 years. Much older animals are documented, but an exceptional record should not become a promise attached to every hatchling. Create a free ball python profile so age […]

Ball Python Feeding and Shed Log: Record Events Without Guessing the Cause

A ball python feeding and shed log is most useful when it records events without guessing their cause. Keep what was offered, when it was offered, what you observed afterward, and the date and character of each shed.
