image graphic of a ball python curled up sticking its tongue out. The style is a simplified, heavy-outlined cartoon style. The ball python has a small, rounded head and nose that looks puppy-like, with an orange stripe across the eyes. The background color of the normal ball python is dark brown, and there are colored markings along the sides and top. The top of the snake has dot and dash orange blobs along the back. There are also shapes rising up from the bottom of the shape that look like hearts or keyholes, some with dark brown blotches inside. As the pattern reaches the belly of the snake it fades to light tan. The title is Ball Python Morphs by otteroflore.
underneath it says aka Royal Python (python regius) a non-comprehensive guide to captive bred ball python coloration.
Below the top box is a white background with various snakes and diagrams. It says "Ball pythons (python regius) have been bred in captivity as pets and in a variety of colors (morphs). colors and patterns are made up of: melanophores with melanin and xanthophores with carotenoids and pteridines. the diagram shows that melanin is black, carotenoids are yellow and pteridines are red. combined, they make a range of dark brown, orange and tan colors. There is a digital drawing of a ball python with a dark background and orange spotting labelled "normal" ball python (wild type). Underneath are drawings of two white ball pythons with yellow markings and red eyes with the text "Albinos have no melanin, but they vary in the amount of yellow pigments." and shows "high contrast versus low contrast" below the snakes. There is a small digital drawing of the patterns of the ball python, which are called alien head, keyhole, and lightbulb. The alien head looks similar to a heart, with two "eyes" in the middle, the keyhole looks like a lightbulb with a "eye" in the middle, and the lightbulb is just a blob with no holes. There is a section to the right of the page that is sectioned off with the word "NOTE" and says each type of chromatophore is on a separate layer." It has a diagram with 3 layers: red and yellow dots on the top layer, an empty middle layer labeled "clear crystal iridophores" and a bottom black layer of dots.

Digital drawing of normal ball python with the number 2, the background has a faded watermark saying otteroflore. Page is titled "morphs with mostly standard pattern but different colors". The first two drawings are of a normal ball python with orange and brown tones and a second grayscale ball python, labeled "Axanthic morphs have only black pigment". The second drawing is a big, all yellowish ball python with a pattern labeled "amorphous back blobs" and a baby yellow ball python saying "pale morphs look pink as babies" and the text next to it says "Banana morphs gain speckles as they age". The third ball python has a dark background color but brighter yellow markings, and is labeled "super common Pastel". Lastly there is a drawing of a ball python with a lighter orange background coloration and yellow-orange markings, labeled "Ultramel: blushing in between pattern" and an arrow pointing to where parts of the ball python fade from dark to lighter orange between the patterns.

Digital drawing of normal ball python with the number 3, the background has a faded watermark saying otteroflore. The title says "There are a lot of morphs with similar pattern and color to the wild-type". There are nine pictures of snakes on this page all in the same pose, recolored and labeled with a morph. The top left has the words "reduced pigments" and an arrow pointing to the leftmost top snakes, and the bottom right has the opposite with an arrow saying "increased pigment". The snake morphs are as follows, left to right, top to bottom. comparing to the normal morph:
"hypo" snake that is the most faded, tan and gray coloration.
"vanilla" snake also looks faded gray and tan but less so than hypo.
"fire" snake has brighter yellow markings and a crisp black background.
"orange dream" snake has no "eyes" in its pattern, its markings are all solid and are a brighter, lighter orange color.
"gravel" looks similar to normal type with stronger "flaming", which is light colors on the bottom of the brown background, and has fewer "eyes" in its background.
"mystic" looks like a slightly faded normal with high flaming.
"black pastel" has a very dark, almost black body, and the patterns on its sides are darker orange with large eyes.
"chocolate" has almost black background with the pattern on its top and sides being more brown than orange, and the side patterns are speckled with black
"cinder" has an almost black background and patterns that lean towards dark reddish brown rather than orange brown.

Digital drawing of normal ball python with the number 4, the background has a faded watermark saying otteroflore. The title says distinct pattern morphs. The side has an arrow going down saying "common" at top and "rare" at bottom. There are 12 digitally drawn snakes in various positions. From top left to bottom right the morphs are:
Spotnose: snake with blobby markings, few alien eyes and markings on its head.
GHI (Gotta Have It): a snake with large, blobby patterns and large hollow eyes going far up its side and blending with the pattern on top.
Pinstripe: a snake with its top pattern nearly connectted in one large stripe, the side patterns being so large you can barely see the dark background and looking like lines.
Clown: a snake with no top pattern, only side patterns that show many eyes, and a headstamp above its eyes.
Leopard: the top pattern has eyes like the side patterns, and the sides are distinctly blobby and have large eyes.
Genetic stripe: a mostly-tan snake with few side markings and a yellow stripe down its back.
Patternless: a mostly uniformly colored snake with a pale, barely distinguishable line down its back.
Zebra: a greyish snake with white bands across its body.
Piebald: a snake with a typical head, but much of its body is splotched with white. the parts that are not white are orange and browns with a stripe or dotted lines on top.
Tri-stripe: this snake has a dark brown body with no top markings and only patterned sides, however, the side patterns have blended together into one and the alien eyes are all linked, making it appear as if it has stripes with white on bottom fading to orange, then a brown stripe, then an orange stripe.
monsoon: an orange snake with tiny squiggles all over it.
sunset: a brown snake with pale orange markings. The top has small lines and spots with eyes inside them, and the side pattern is distinctly smaller than the rest. the snake also fades to pale on its bottom side more distinctly.
Zebra, sunset, and monsoon have arrows pointed at them saying "pricey morphs"

Digital drawing of normal ball python with the number 5, the background has a faded watermark saying otteroflore. Title: some morphs have "super" forms = a difference look if the snake has two copies of the gene. There is an asterisk and the asteriks at the bottom of the page says "genetic lesson not included in this guide".
Three snakes are drawn along the right side:
Super pastel: a snake with a pale gray and almost white background and pale yellow markings.
Super enchi: a snake with brown background and markings that blend together heavily, with no distinction between top and side markings.
Super asphalt: a reddish snake with a bright yellow top, dashed stripe with side markings that are small and faded, wobbly lines.
On the left side there is one snake labeled specter (which looks like a paler version of a classic ball python) and in front of it one labeled super specter (which has a stripe down its back and distinct, hollow alien heads and very blobby side pattern). Next to them are arrows that say "simple morph vs. distinct super".
At the bottom there is an arrow pointing to a drawing of two snakes that are both labeled super mystic that says "variation in individuals". One super mystic is grey with dashed white stripes on top and a faded, indistinct pattern like dots along its sides, and the other is a greyish purple, with yellow dashes along its back and sharply defined side markings with hollow centers.
On the right side of the page there is a section cordoned off with thick lines that says "Blue-eyed lucy complex: supers or combos of certain genes". It has a picture of two snakes on the left, mojave (paler than normals) and bamboo (extremely faded, nearly tan). On the right is a larger, all white snake with blue eyes and an arrow that says "minimal or no pattern". The words around it say "super mojave" "super bamboo" and "mojave + bamboo". At the bottom of this section it says "+ others: lesser, russo, phantom, mystic..."

Digital drawing of normal ball python with the number 6, the background has a faded watermark saying otteroflore. Title says "Some combos have unique names". It shows the same pinstripe and pastel snakes from previous pages with a plus in the middle, indicating they equal "lemonblast". The lemonblast snake has the pale coloration of the pastel and minimalistic lines of the pinstripe.
On the left is a dark brown snake with bright yellow dashed lines down its back and an indistinct, grainy pattern down its sides. It is labeled "Freeway: yellow belly + asphalt". The arrow pointed to it says "morphs interact in unique ways, too. y.b. and asphalt are (nearly) identical alone". To the right there is a snake with a reddish head and side pattern, black back, and a shape like a bat on its nose labeled "batman: clown+leopard+spotnose" and a snake below it saying "batman + pastel" which has a similar pattern but is nearly all white with a grey line down its back and black speckles on its face. The words "combo names simplify lists" are on the left hand side. Below them it says "most unique combos are just that- unique". Two snakes are drawn below that. One is all white with orange squiggles down the sides labeled "pin+ spotnose + banana + clown + GHI" and the other is nearly all dark yellow with simple, small blobby patterns down its side labeled "genetic stripe + leopard + clown".
At the bottom of the page it says "However, morphs don't just influence appearance."

Digital drawing of normal ball python with the number 7, the background has a faded watermark saying otteroflore. The title says "genes behind morphs can have secondary impacts". Beneath it is a picture of a snake labeled desert with a female symbol (a simple, pale ball python morph) and the text says "deserts (and caramel albino) have fertility issues". There is a caramel albino on the other side, a pale white and yellow snake, which has an arrow pointing to it stating "also prone to kinks (spinal deformity)"
The text in the middle reads: 'Some supers and combos have higher rates of defects:
-Bug eyes (super lesser / BEL)
-Small eyes (some BEL + piebald, super lesser + albino)
-Duckbill and Kinking (super cinnamon, super black pastel)
On the left and right are four snake heads drawn in a large, slightly more realistic style with thin lines. They each have labels and look as follows:
Super lessers (BEL): a white snakes head with large blue eyes.
Normal: a typical ball python for comparison
Super cinn.: a dark snake with pale colors around its mouth; its nose juts upwards and outwards more than the normal snake.
piebald + various BEL supers: a white snake with an unusually domed head and small eyes.
There are two smaller graphics, one of a dark snake with two kinks in its tail labeled super cinn. It says "kinks may severly impact bps or have no effect". The other is a small head that looks identical to the "piebald+various BEL" head but it has small red eyesinstead of black.
At the bottom it says "melanin distibution itself can also impact care" and "albinos need lower light because snakes can't wear sunglasses" with a picture of an albino snake wearing sunglasses, and a lightbulb shining on it.

Digital drawing of normal ball python with the number 8, the background has a faded watermark saying otteroflore. Title: "Additional morph issues". Text at the top: "Scaleless morphs (super microscale, super scaleless head)" and "fully scaleless morphs have difficulty shedding and moving safely, being prone to cuts and sores. they are inherently fragile." and has a picture of a snake with bandaids on it. There is a line separating the page. Below the line there it reads: "Wobble: a developmental defect causing balance issues". There are three silhouette images of snakes, representing issues labeled "may fall off ledges or branches", "can worsen with age or stress" and "trouble striking food". On the left side is a snake that is unnaturally twisted upside down labeled "spider" with an asterisk. It has blobby side patterns that do not have eyes, and its side patterns connect with its top pattern. The asterisk under it indicated "super form is lethal".
At the bottom of the page it says "other morphs/supers to avoid:" and there are 5 snakes, all in the snake upside-down-head pose but with different patterns. They are as follows:
Champagne: a nearly patternless snake but with faded, pale sides.
Woma: similar to spider, blobby, connected patterns with no "eyes".
HGW (hidden gene woma): similar to woma, with some eyes in its patterns.
Super sable: a darker snake than the rest with a pale stripe down its back and faded patterns down its side.
Super spotnose: distinct markings on head, many keyhole patterns down its body, top markings blend in with side markings.
Lastly, in the corner is a note saying "combos will wobble too, ex: "bee" = spider + pastel and "spinner" = spider + pin" Beneath that there are two snakes:
Banana bee: The blobby, connected pattern of the spider morph, but paler and its background color is orange.
spinner: a tan, paler body and yellow stripe down back, small black specks and lines all over the body.

Digital drawing of normal ball python with the number 9, the background has a faded watermark saying otteroflore. Title says: "Morphs don't change snakes' needs!" and in smaller letters "all b.p.s deserve good lives" On the side there is a list that says "hides, humidity, heat, enrichment, space". There are two digital images. One image is a large storage tub with screen attached to holes cut in the front. The inside of the tub has been decorated with branches for the snake to climb on, hides, and brightly colored plants. There is an albino snake climbing on a branch inside. There is also a box on top indicating a lamp and a heat mat on bottom, with a thermometer attached to the tank. It is a basic, cost effective ball python setup.
The second is a more elaborate digital drawing of a ball python setup. There is a large, rectangular, professionally made box with clear doors to look inside, a domed heat source on top and a thermometer at the front. Inside, the substrate is deeper and the plants and branches are arranged more artfully, with multiple species of typical houseplants like snakeplants and pothos. the hides and water dish are made to look like rock and blend in with the background. The snake inside is a wild type ball python, sitting on a branch.

This snake morph guide is just meant to explain some basics of morphs. I would caution anyone in buying a pet that takes a high level of care just because it's pretty, and frankly any breeder that continues to breed morphs with physiological and neurological defects should be put out of business. I did my best as I find this interesting and believe there's a lot of misinformation out there due to people trying to literally sell things to their audience.

I included some links if you would like additional reading. They range from a study on captive care management, studies I could find relevant to the severe issue morphs, and some general on snake color and scales.

The Ultimate Grimoire Guide

So! I have been seeing a ton of grimoire ideas and thought I’d stuff them all together. A lot of ideas are from @manifestationsofasort, @banebite, and @pigeonflavouredcake. Check them out! They have a ton of cool stuff there.

What Do I Use For My Grimoire?

You can use anything for a grimoire! For a physical one, journals, binders, and notebooks are good. For digital ones, Notion, Tumblr, Docs, and even just your file folder are great.
