    strange girl
    https://ball-pythons.net/gallery//br...mageuser=70294I just received the girl pictured from a breeder. Purchased as scaleless head possible her albino (pairing was scaleless head x het albino).
    She has a slight head stamp and a very unusual belly. Any ideas? As far as I know neither of the parents have this belly.
    I'm fairly new to this so I'm looking for input from more knowledgeable breeders as to what may cause this and if its any indication of something else?

    Ok... cant figure out how to upload my pictures here. They are in my album under my profile.

    Thanks for uploading the pics for me.
    She looks like a black belly but black belly is dominant and neither of her parents were so I'm confused and intrigued lol

    I thought scaleless head was co-dominant with full scaleless being the super. Could be wrong [emoji14]

    Regarding missing scales on head, I advise you to wait for next shed before getting too excited. I had a ball python that would lose scales on it's head during sheds every now and then, resulting in a look very similar to your python - it was nothing genetic. I heard of other breeders having pythons with the same condition.

    I purchased her brother which is also a scaleless head and I purchased her from a reliable breeder so I'm pretty confident she is a scaleless head. I'm more interested in her belly markings.
