    Butterscotch?

    This BP is being sold as a butterscotch. He is freshly shed, but I'm not sure on the weight maybe 700 or 800 grams?

    I'm bad with identifying morphs so I was curious what you guys thought! And he is being sold for 400 bucks.

    Sorry it's the best pic I could get with my phone!

    Does it look like a ghost at all I cant tell from the pics if it has that ghostly look?... This is a butterscotch but I cant tell exactly how big it is but it doesnt look like a hatchling and it doesnt really look like the one you have in the pic...

    EDIT: So I guess I would say no based on the pic from WOB....

    No, it doesn't look at all like that BP does in person. Any ideas what it could be?

    Looks like a light colored normal to me but I'm not very good at ID.

    Well, it could be a poor quality butterscotch or a bad picture. It's kind of hard to tell sometimes.

    Here are a couple of pics of my hypomelanistic which is a butterscotch line.




    remember the picture on WOB is a baby, this one is around 3-4 years old. They can change a lot.

    The head is a dead giveaway in most cases.

    Hope this helps.

    I just see a normal. My guess is the seller is trying to take advantage of someone who doesn't know any better. It happens a lot. My advice is beware and if you're getting into more subtle morphs, buy from a reputable breeder only.

    Agreed from the picture provided looks like a normal. Buyer beware!

    I think he could be one, but difficult to tell with that picture.

    Re: Butterscotch?

    Hi,

    I agree the picture isn't up to much - but I did think ghost when I saw it so it would be worth asking for better pics.
