    Unknown snake morphs
    I bought this guy about a week ago but the seller doesn't know the morphs. I included pictures of his head stamp, his belly tracks, and one picture of is whole body and then an up close of the blushing that is very prominent along his saddles and the sides of his body.

    Here are 2 pictures of my normal ball python as something to compare to.

    What do you think?
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Did the seller give you the parentage at least?

    I personally would avoid buying anything unknown like that. If a breeder can't give you an idea of the morph then they're probably not a reputable breeder to begin with.

    Maybe something in the fire complex. maybe something YB? but otherwise a nice looking normal unless proven otherwise I guess.

    I work with a lot of Fire.
    Looks like a good example of Fire to me, or definitely something in the Fire Complex. :)

    It looks like you're keeping the new snake in the same room as your other snakes, I would suggest quarantining the new snake in a separate room for a month or more.
    You never know what parasites, diseases, etc., The new snake is carrying. ;)
    I don't know a lot about morphs, But they are a beauty!

    As someone who just did a necropsy and Viral testing for a newly purchased animal that died with no symptoms just as it was suppose to finish quarantine. I would avoid just buying up whatever 'great deals' you find unless you can properly keep them isolated.

    I stupidly had this new pickup in a baby rack in another room because I had trusted the breeder and worked with them in the past. Thankfully everything tested negative. We don't know what happened... but it was a big kick in the ass and reminder to never do something so stupid again regardless of where I got them. I could have wiped out my holdbacks from last year.
