BP morph? Found him at petco :)
hey guys check this :snake: out, he was on sale at Petco :) I can't tell for sure if he is just a light normal or if it is a morph! He had some white speckling along his bottom scales that reminded me of a sugar morph almost and the coloring was somewhat like a spider with deep deep blacks and a lightish yellow coloring overall.
I'm sorry the pics are so crappy I just had my cell phone camera to take pictures with. If you want I could just text them to you just lemme know :)

Yeah I couldn't get him to unball for the life of me and when the girl there tried to he almost bit her so its a pretty skittish snake, understandable given the amount of people that must be poking and prodding it every day :(
thanks y'all!

Looks like a nice normal to me.

He is a very pretty normal! I love it when they ball up, because that means I can get pictures of them!

Yeah :) he is quite a looker, I'm so tempted to bring him home but my girl would flip a #($@! lol I just spent almost $200 for a RHP, new Helix thermostat and an infrared thermometer for my one BP. I wonder if they would be all right together maybe? It's a 20g long tank with plenty of hides and they're both fairly small. But I know that that's like mucho mucho frowned upon :( thanks guys! I'll learn my morphs in a while

Yeah, housing them together is a huge no no. I only bring home reptiles once I have everything setup, no matter how much I want what ever it is!
Re: BP morph? Found him at petco :)
yeah I guess I'll just have to be patient :) I'm getting a new apartment soon so I will definitely be adding to my herp collection then when we have more room to spread out ;) my girl wants some cresties really bad, I think I gave her the herp bug too :D
Re: BP morph? Found him at petco :)
My petco has a BP with a really nice black-back but its probably not genetic. The back 2/3 of its back is a solid deep black stripe :P It is eating f/t every week too but its still not worth the price petco wants.
Re: BP morph? Found him at petco :)
Sometimes I think mine is a morph:oops:
Re: BP morph? Found him at petco :)
Its normal, but a very pretty snake! Im sure you can get a nice captive bred snake from a reputable breeder for the same price or better, with records and everything. Or even better, a nice morph for a little more. I just dont think its a good idea making a purchase of an animal from a corporation like petco! But thats just me.

I agree 100%, normally I wouldn't even look at the animals they sell there but this one just caught my eye. I plan to buy my next snake from NERD since they are only 1/2 hour away from where I live and they have some absolutely beautiful BPs. I want a spider so freakin bad! I'm already picking out the cage and everything that I want to get for him/her, I'm thinkin a vision cage from Reptile Basics with one of their RHPs and a couple other extras would be freakin sweet :)
