Extremely reduced-pattern BP

I'm not sure if this is a weird normal, or something else. I haven't been able to breed her yet because I had a terrible time getting her to eat until I figured out that she only likes medium-sized dark-brown ASFRs. You can see how thin she got in the 1st photo. She eats like a champ now.

Her pattern is awesome. I'd love to see the outcome of her breeding trials. What are your plans for her?

Umm, no she isn't rare at all, send her to me for full examination!

Actually even Ralph Davis will tell you that very reduced normal ball pythons are quite rare and the one you have is very nice. granted the one on Ralph's page is INSANE, yours is still quite nice. No one wants to take the time to prove it out, so it very well could be genetic.

I bet she has an awsome pattern but the photos don't help at all to apreciate the pattern!! Please better pics....

to really make the call, we need better pics. full body shots etc. now it looks like a nice reduced but u cant really tell. so please post better pics

there are a few things that trp (true reduced patterned) balls have. to get and idea we need belly shots and head/ neck shots. u can also look at hunters guide to the morphs- he explains that very well there
