    Not normal?

    I've been procrastinating this for a while. I did make a thread earlier introducing my snakes using the same pics but it wasn't an official morph thread.
    Anyway, my theory is a Harlequin. I wouldn't know though, because this was my first snake ever that I bought at PetSmart over a year ago.

    Harlequin seems reasonable. It has the crazy striping and looks like it has the head fade and overall look too. If it is, it looks nicer than any of the Harlequins on WOBP. Very cool animal. Everyone wants their normal to be something more, and yours actually seems to be! Hah.

    So I heard a Harlequin's belly is all white with a black railroad marking along the entire belly.
    SEEMS LIKE A SUSPECT TO ME

    also i highly suggest not breeding any suspect harlequins to black pastels because its near impossible to tell if the suspect is genetic. last year black pastel male got the job done with my girl and guess who had to hold back the entire clutch just in case... this year im hoping lesser or bee het pied gets the job done.

    I remember when I was a big fat n00b and I posted on a different forum about what morph is she (I though she was a Fire; and I didn't notice how different her pattern is) and they all said normal. They said as normal as it gets. I lost my sense of caring and just accepted I had what I paid for, and was totally fine with that. Then a friend from Virginia, who keeps snakes himself, remarked on her stunning pattern. Then I bought my (rather colorful) second ball python. Had the two out and next to each other and I thought "Something here is different." Lol
    I'll be honest with you guys. I'm not a big fan of the huge stripe. But I LOVE her patterned flanks.
    Don't be surprised when Harlequin "O&OoS(or whatever the hell I call my business lol) Line" pops up in a few years.
