Goodreads book review
How much have you ever actually learned about the ball python species? And even if it may not be as appealing as it sounds, breeding two almost completely brown looking snakes and producing a completely white snake with blue eyes sounds somewhat interesting doesn't it? It's not as easy as it sounds however, being able to produce Punnett squares of genetics into your mind is just the start, mainly due to the fact that isn't not just about breeding any two genetics or combinations together, it's about breeding the right ones. In the Ultimate Ball Python Morph Maker Guide, by Kevin McCurley, the author excels the reader into a whole new concept and aspect of breeding ball pythons. Being able to conceptualize how many creations Kevin McCurley has produced in his life and is still producing is almost impossible, however, learning from this man's secrets through hundreds of pages of breeding, genetics, rack systems, and all of the above, is a start. The hard work that Kevin has taken time to put in just for this specific book and his past books, is unreal for how many snakes he must take care of and watch over daily. The endless genetics and his keys to success will be revealed, and knowing it will open up a whole new perspective on anyone, whether a hobbyist or person interested, to the ball python industry.
