    I'm not sure about the colouring, but is that scarring down the right hand side of her body from before you got her? Do you know how they happened?

    Looks like a tape wound, maybe. Would love more insight, if the previous owner told you what happened.

    That's pretty interesting right there.

    Looks like someone took a pastel and a normal, cut them both in half, then stuck the rear end of the pastel on the front end of the normal. Never seen anything like it before. I guess I'd call the color "pastel yellow." ... I've heard that stress and/or malnutrition can cause color change in ball pythons, so I suppose it's possible that the stress of whatever caused that scarring has in turn caused a color change. I really have no idea - that's just my semi-educated guess unless we just want to chalk this one up to an unusual genetic anomaly, something similar to a paradox. Like others though, I'm interested to hear more about this critter. Who did it come from? Was the color always like that? What morph, if any, were the parents? What caused those scars? What kind of diet is she on? How old is she? Looking forward to updates and questions from more educated members that might be able to narrow this down.

    I would say maybe she's an Asphalt. http://www.worldofballpythons.com/morphs/asphalt/
