Poss. New Morph Named Gamble

Couple shots of the new ball that came in today... Becuase he is a ball we took a risk on we decided to name him Gamble... These pics are MUCH better than the ones posted under the other topic (poss new cinny)... Im not sure how the previous owner managed to take such crappy pics of him but these ones make me smile:)

awesome colors, no matter what it is.

Yeah, those pics look great - better than either the ones the seller took, or your first ones. I'd be willing to bet that he's not "normal", he definately has a look to him, that screams something special to me.

I think he was a great pick up. Congrats.

1st that snake is real nice :sweeet: 2nd gamble is the perfect name

Heres a question ... So i know other animals have the ability to change their colors through chromataphors(sp) and I believe snakes do not have this ability... Is it possible that when a snake is stressed out its color may lighten up and not be so bright?? Only reason I ask is someone at my work thought maybe the snake didnt look as nice and bright bc of the 12hrs it spent in the bag/box had him stressed out. It could have just been really bright in the room or something i dunno.

gamble is a great name. it would be awesome to recreate that look.

Well hormones can cause an animal to change colors I know this much. As for stress I'm not sure.

I wanted to tell you that if you ever get tired of that one my check book is alway open. :D

Neat snake.. I would definately try to prove it out :)

That is nice looking snake. She looks like a cinnamon that for sure.
