    What do y'all think?

    I am new to the group. I had a BP years ago but gave him up after Hurricane Katrina to a neighbor. My neighbor had always wanted a snake but his wife was against the idea. My boy, Kolbe, was the only snake she'd ever liked. Kolbe was living in too small of a tank since his custom enclosure was destroyed in the flood. I still get to visit him but I have been missing having a BP of my own. I was going to look at the next Repticon, but then this past Sunday this little girl won my heart. She wouldn't come out of her tight ball with anyone and when I walked up and held my hands out she came right to me.

    She's lighter than any normal I've ever seen, yellow really. I was wondering if she was anything interesting (I mean she is interesting to me regardless). I'm starting to read more about morphs and trying to learn. She almost looks like a pastel, but her eyes are not really green (they are brown, but with a little bit of that green khaki color to them). If nothing else, she is an interesting normal and I was wondering if it would be worth breeding her down the line and, if so, to what morph?

    Close up of her face


    She has this interesting "spade" on top of her head (and a heart shape elsewhere on her body so if I find a "club" and a "diamond" I'll have a deck of cards).


    This picture shows her spade again, and also a bit of her belly. You can also see that the underside of her tail is very yellow.


    I can get more pictures of her when she is more settled in. I'm trying hard not to fool with her too much until she is comfortable and eating.

    Definitely not a pastel, but a really nice normal none the less.

    I knew she wasn't pastel because of her eye color. I expected her to be normal, but she really is a very light and bright girl with some interesting features and a lot of yellow.

    One of the reasons I originally got her was because I wanted a baby from my old snake, but the current keepers said they are unwilling to breed him. So, I started wondering about getting a male morph down the line and was wondering if she was pretty enough to breed and if so, if there was a particular morph that would go well with her.

    And I forgot to mention her name, which is Kira Ayn.

    I think she would go very well with a Black Pastel or a Cinnamon.

    Welcome to BP!!

    She is a really nice, light, high gold normal. And yes I think a cinnamon would be a good match for her.

    I also think fire would be a good choice. She's got a few lovely little blush marks on her back, and I bet as she grows they will get bigger and more noticeable, and those combined with her color makes me think fire.
