    Adopting a bp
    Hi guys, I'm new to the forums, hopefully now that I'm adopting a ball python I'll be a more frequent visitor. I just wanted to ask peoples opinion on what type of morph this girl is.

    I thought she looked similar to a Lesser, but since I only have experience with corn snakes and their relatives, I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with the vast number of morphs that ball pythons have.

    Thanks,
    B

    That looks like a normal, the picture isn't great but I'm pretty sure.

    Check out this website if you want to learn more about ball python morphs:

    Its probably a normal. Morphs are difficult to find through adoption. I've talked to my local snake adoption person and she filled me in on that info.

    It looks like a normal in shed to me. Welcome to the site and good luck with the resuce!

    I was looking at one of the big breeder sites last night and saw two or three that looked similar to that one and they were calling them Chocolates. I had never heard of it before and they did look sort of like Normals but just a richer brown than usual.

    to me it looks like a normal nearing the end of its shed cycle.

    I think normal also. Maybe shedding, as others have said also. They get washed put and dull like that when in shed. Picture isn't real clear though. Congrats on your bp!

    I vote for normal too.
    Our babe is browner than most normals, but he's still a gorgeous normal! :D

    There's nothing really normal about normal BP. They are merely more common. :P

    Congrats on the adoption! We also adopted our babe, Basil.

    Thanks for the replies guys, I thought she looked normal, but a bit "off", I guess it's due to shedding. The person I'm adopting her from has no idea there are different types of ball pythons and had no info on her background --- so I didn't know what to make of that picture. I can't wait to see her :)
