Pinstripe

[brother713]

im looking at getting a pinstripe ball, probably a female since i have both a male and female pastel. anything that i should look for in a pin?

I think it just depends on what appeals to you... some people like reduced patterns, others like busy patterns, back stripes, etc. Personally I like a busy but "organized" pinstripe (if that makes sense), something like this: http://www.ballpython777.com/pinstri...3female927.jpg

For comparison, here's a reduced pin: http://www.reptillisherps.com/upload...06539_orig.jpg
And one with a nice back-stripe: http://www.rcreptiles.com/images/col...3214-thumb.jpg

Oh, and I'd also look for one with bright/high contrast... if it's already looking dark & dull as a baby, I imagine it won't be such a pretty adult.

That backstripe's the winner for me. No breaks across or on sides, reduced but complete pattern. So nice....

here is a pic of my little guy i am hoping to breed this year... i look for good color in mine as well as i wanted a nice stripe all the way down the animal with little breaks...
