A pleasant surprise from a buddy

Well I thought today couldn't get any better and then I got home from work and my buddy had a surprise for me. Let me know what you think of my new little one.

he/she is a lil cutie xD:gj:

my buddy said its a gentic stipe, I just thought it looked cool, I"m still learning all the different types there are but he said he was giving it to me for only $50, I have no idea what they go for.

No, it's not a genetic stripe. They don't have that kind of pattern on the sides. It's a normal wild type ball python though it does have a very nice stripe. $50.00 is a little high for a normal, but then again that depends on whether or not it's worth it to you.

well thank you for the insight

what a buddy:snake:

Nice looking snake!:)

yea 50 is like pet store prices but they do go for around 80 at petco and petsmart

I was just in the local reptile shop and he has a very nice normal going for $100. He would probly do the same with the normal in this thread too. I think it just depends on the pattern of the snake.

Did your friend maybe say the snake was "het" stripe?
