- On the role of TFEC in reptilian coloration.
Tzika AC · Frontiers in cell and developmental biology · 2024-02 · open access
1 Introduction Although the zebrafish remains the main reference in the animal coloration field, reptilian species are gaining ground as new models thanks to the great diversity of color and color patterns they exhibit. Multiple studies have investigated the distribution of chromatophores in their…

- Demonstration of Parthenogenetic Reproduction in a Pet Ball Python ( Python regius ) through Analysis of Early-Stage Embryos.
Di Ianni F, Albarella S, Vetere A et al. · Genes · 2023-08 · open access
Parthenogenesis is an asexual form of reproduction, normally present in various animal and plant species, in which an embryo is generated from a single gamete. Currently, there are some species for which parthenogenesis is supposed but not confirmed, and the mechanisms that activate it are not well…
- The Role of Host Species in Experimental Ferlavirus Infection: Comparison of a Single Strain in Ball Pythons ( Python regius ) and Corn Snakes ( Pantherophis guttatus ).
Pees M, Möller A, Schmidt V et al. · Animals : an open access journal from MDPI · 2023-08 · open access
1. Introduction Paramyxoviruses in the genus Ferlavirus were first described in snakes in the 1970s. They have since been detected in a wide range of snake species as well as in lizards and, occasionally, in chelonians. They are known to primarily cause respiratory disease in infected animals but…
- A frameshift variant in the melanophilin gene is associated with loss of pigment from shed skin in ball pythons ( Python regius ).
Lederer I, Shahid B, Dao U et al. · microPublication biology · 2023-08 · open access
Description The pigment melanin is responsible for brown and black skin colors throughout animals. Melanin in higher vertebrates is produced in cells called melanocytes, then transferred to cells called keratinocytes (Moreiras et al. 2021). Keratinocytes make up the bulk of the skin, and melanin…

- A community-science approach identifies genetic variants associated with three color morphs in ball pythons (Python regius).
Brown AR, Comai K, Mannino D et al. · PloS one · 2022-10 · open access
Introduction Color patterns are distinctive and beautiful features of many animal species. Among the many functions of color are to camouflage animals to their surroundings, protect tissues from ultraviolet radiation, warn predators of poisons, and provide signals for mating and social…
- Seeking serpents: Ball python trade in Benin, West Africa
Christian Toudonou, Angie Elwin, Johannes Penner et al. · Nature Conservation · 2022-10 · open access
Ball pythons are traded as bushmeat, leather and belief-based medicine in West Africa, and specimens are exported in large numbers for the exotic pet trade. Here, we focused on understanding the purpose and socio-economic context of this trade in Benin through interviews with 44 actors involved in…

Starck JM, Schrenk F, Schröder S et al. · PloS one · 2022-08 · open access
Spider morph ball pythons are a frequently-bred designer morph with striking alterations of the skin color pattern. We created high-resolution μCT-image series through the otic region of the skulls, used 3D-reconstruction software for rendering anatomical models, and compared the anatomy of the…
