    Blue hue?
    My ball python (Dave) has a blue hue. Someone please tell me that's normal? I know it isn't a shedding thing because even after he sheds it's there. I'm kind of new to this.:confusd:

    What kind of ball python? Some ghost or hypo morphs will look blue hued.

    Pictures will be great.

    I have a normal ball and the top of his head has a blue hue to it even after he sheds. So I'm guessing it's common but not positive. His last shed was complete so I don't think it's abnormal. Looking forward to seeing what kind of replies you get. He was advertised as a normal when I bought him.

    The black scales of a normal can be slightly iridescent. So maybe that is what you are seeing.

    It must be for mine at least. I only see it on the top of his head where the black is most prominent.

    I managed to catch a good picture of it on one of mine a few years ago.
