Bob Clark imported the first albino reticulated python in 1993.  In 1996 he produced the first heterozygous offspring, or normal appearing offspring carrying the albino trait.  He bred two heterozygous animals together and in 1999, produced the first albino reticulated pythons.  The albino trait can be found in three phases.  White, lavender, and purple.  The trait is uncontrollable, there is no way to produce more of one trait.  Of the three phases though, the purple has become the most rare and sought after. 

First produced in 1993, this was the first designer morph to be produced in captivity, and was responsible for bringing the long over due attention to this species.  Two patterns are usually found on this animal, they are sparatic, and are random in clutches.  The "Classic" pattern resembles a lace pattern, and the pattern duplicates itself along the dorsal line. The "Striped" pattern is far more reduced, the pattern is joined together forming a single band along the entire length of the body.  The trait was proven co-dominant, and two years later two tigers were bred together to produce the homozygous form, the super tiger.

This morph has the exact same pattern as a normal species.  It has an impressive solid golden head, sometimes even reaching under the chin and down the neck.  Hatchlings are usually normal in appearance, as the golden head starts to show color with maturity, usually around a year to two of age.

A gorgeous specimen displaying a normal species pattern, the color however, is like non other.  The dark blotches commonly found on normal species are replaced by a very light tan or beige, black still borders these blotches and the overall color is intensified.  As the animal grows and sheds, the colors intensify, most adults look nothing like hatchlings.  The Fire morph is the co-dominant form of the white fire, which is an exquisit animal.

A relatively new morph, this animal has intensified golden colors, and a somewhat reduced pattern.  Hatchlings are born with somewhat normal coloration, like the fire gene, the colors intensify with age and shed processes.  This gene is being used to intensify genes such as the albino to enhance the orange that's present.
