notes This is one example of the colorful morphs (this one is a 'Bumble Bee') developed in the reptile pet trade by using highly selected individuals for captive breeding. This particular morph is the result of codominant codons brought into captivity from wild parents. The resulting offspring look nothing like their natural forebears and would have a very poor survivability in their natural habitat.keywords: snakes, constrictors, python, pets, selective breeding, evolution, codons, codominant features
