Help identifying the morph/genetics of this gorgeous guy we took in.
https://ball-pythons.net/gallery/sho...mageuser=88889We just got this guy a few days ago, he was surrendered to our local reptile shop and so we decided to bring him home and give him the best life possible. He’s currently in his 30 day quarantine bin. He is absolutely gorgeous and everything I’ve found so far has me convinced he’s either a uranium blast (piebald x super enchi x pastel x pinstripe) or a super enchi lemonblast (pastel x pinstripe) but if any of you have any other ideas I would love to hear them!

Oh for sure, we definitely didn’t sacrifice anything to take him in and we’re the lucky ones to get him most definitely. I don’t even consider him a rescue with what good health he is in. I’m pretty sure it was just a moving and couldn’t keep him deal so we got super lucky to get him for such a low price. He will eventually move into a 4x2x6 enclosure after quarantine, as he seems to love to climb. Eventually I just want to live in a reptile zoo lol as long as I can afford to keep them all healthy and happy and living their best lives I’m always fine taking in more animals.

He kind of reminds me of those banana slugs you find in the NW U.S. with those colors and patterns. He's so pretty!

Thank you!! He totally reminds of one of the banana slugs too!! I used to love UC Santa Cruz cuz their mascot was the banana slugs. We named him butters but I may have to give him a slug based nickname 😂

6 feet?! Of height?! For a BP?! I'm an ardent follower of the bigger is better school regarding reptile enclosures but 6 feet seems excessive, even dangerous. You'll have to be very careful how you set that up.

yes, 6’ tall, he won’t have access to the full height however, I’m planning a small live plant section for the top two feet with led side lighting that will penetrate to the middle and allow growth to help with humidity since we live in CO and the bottom 4 feet will be his, the plants will sit on a sturdy base in the top of the enclosure and be surrounded by screen to let the air circulate and raise humidity. So essentially he’s getting a 4x2x4 with a garden, like a NY studio apartment ��. It will definitely have to be a custom one like I recently built for our tegu. You can check that one out if you want here:

I rest assured that you're someone that knows how to carefully set up an enclosure. Please post some pics once you're done. I had a BP that was an ardent, though nonagile, climber. When I let him out of his enclosure, he would sometimes climb up to 6 feet in the air, but he always had a spotter.

He might also have Bongo, when paired with pastel it can cause big sections to burn out like that.
