    Dark Normals?

    Hey guys! I know everyone talks about the vast difference in color in 'normal' or wild type ball pythons. I wanted to see if anyone could post some pictures of dark normals they may have in their collection. I have had Sally now for roughly three months and every time she sheds she has gotten darker and darker, its gotten to the point she is so dark she is almost black. I am curious to see if anyone has any normals as dark as she has become.

    Okay! You asked for it, now you get to deal with the consequences. I made her come out for a photo op lol. Please remember this is my little rescue, so I have no idea what she is and she has some serious scarring from the previous owner. These were all taken without flash with the window open right beside her, so its full natural light. She really is just that dark lol.

    Pretty similar to my Hathor (top pic)--her pic was taken with flash. Nice for black pastel or cinnies, or albinos.

    Currently I just have a het albino male. I was thinking of maybe trying to get a double gene albino spider male... so maybe I can try something to that effect. I was going to hold her back for breeding for when Sinatra is large enough. I thought perhaps the Cinnamon in him would make some great dark babies with her color. As it is when I weighed her today she was at 1860 grams, so she is definitely ready to go, just need a good boy to put with her.
