    My first ball python

    We think she's a female but we're pretty inexperienced snake owners. She's kept in a tub setup and loves hanging out with us We got her from a nice young couple in the city that just weren't giving her the attention they wanted to. Unfortunately, she only eats live at the moment but we're going to transition her to F/T once she's good and settled in.

    She shed today so we took some pictures. Any chance she's some sort of morph or just a normal female? The second picture is more like her colouration; the close up came out too yellow but its a good shot of her light head. Her body seems to have faded patches in the black patterns but I have a hard time with morphs so I don't know what I'm looking for.

    Anyway, here's the pictures... we don't have a name for her yet though.

    Its a very attractive snake, but from what I can tell from looking it appears to be a normal, or wild type. Even if its not a morph, you still have a beautiful animal!

    I'm no expert at identifying morphs, so I'll leave that up to the more experienced posters but that is an absolutely adorable snake! Love the blushing

    Yup, she's a normal, not a morph, but she's still very pretty. I love her colors! I personally think that some normals can be just as beautiful as morphs

    S/he's a very pretty normal! If you have any breeders in your area they are usually fairly happy to help out a new herper and sex their snake.
