Axanthic ?

I just got this guy through a person who got it in a deal but doesnt want ball pythons. It wasnt cared for very well so is a little under weight and has a minor bit of scalerot. Not sure if the lack of care may be influencing the color.
Either way this snake is lscking alot of yellow pigmant. Its defiantely not normal in color. Also has a very faded head. Hard to tell inn the pics but I have a typical normal colored bp for comparison.
What do you think?

It COULD be something...
or it COULD be normal.

just a dinker.
id just try and prove it out.

Sorry but that yellow light isnt helping, try using a more white light.

With better photos, it would be easier to tell, but I think it is!

I think so too, but the yellow light color throws it off, makes him look more like a normal. So not Im not sure.

Sorry doesnt look like an axanthic to me ..looks normal:oops:

I think its a normal.

And yes, malnutrition and poor condition can lead to a colour change like that.

im curious, are both snakes in quarantine??

uve been on the site longer than i so u should kno its not a good idea to put a new snake with one any already in ur collection :oops:. specially one with a lil scalerot o_O;...

just reminding u. it does look like an axanthic to me, but i didnt kno malnutrition can cause a color change :weirdface:weirdface:weirdface:weirdface...

oh well, hopefully the color is still there once he's more healthy and stuffed :gj:

Looks like it could be but it could be the lighting also..

I understand your point, but its not like scale rot is contagious :O

It definitely looks interesting to me. It would be sad if its lack of color was from being cared for poorly.
