Now onto the good stuff. This weekend, after researching balls for about a year now, I finally picked up my first ball(s). I ended up with 2...although I originally only planned on one, the more the merrier! One of them is a pastel, of that I am sure, however this second one has me stumped :weirdface It was sold to me as a female woma, and I am fairly certain it is not a woma. It could be a normal, or an enchi or...well that is why I am asking! Here are some pics!

Any help would be greatly appreciated! :D

Idk I'm not really seeing normal here...I'd say the best way to know is grow him up and prove him out. I've never really seen a "wild type" pattern like that...it just jumps out and screams something else to me.

Those were my thoughts exactly! It really doesnt look like a normal to me (although I have a very UN-trained eye). It looks to have more color differences and has that "wild type" pattern that you describe.

EDIT: I will post some pics of the pastel tonight when she wakes up!

Normals vary alot to the point of making thoses beginners/unexpierenced think hey have something special when they dont.

its just a normal nothing more nothing less.

every single snake could be het something.... why even say that?

dorsal coloring is interesting, pattern is pretty normal while I do think it is cool. See how she develops. I'm going with just a normal for now.

I think it's a good looking normal with a somewhat unique pattern. There appear to be some normal "alien head" markings along with some interesting looking banding. It's hard to see a lot of the pattern with the positions of the snake. Definitely a nice pickup to get this and a pastel for $100. I'm with dr del though, pics of the pastel please? :D

Thats pretty funny


But being serious, Just on a hunch and strictly a hunch I bet your pastel isnt even a pastel. Why? Because you got sold a "woma" that was a normal lol

I guess I dont get why that is funny?? :weirdface

Lol, I knew when I bought it that it wasnt a woma, but I loved the pattern, reminded me of a tiger ball. Plus I liked the alien head on the back! The pastel may not be a pastel, it doesnt have a ton of blushing, but defiantly has a lot of orange to her, I am fairly confident she is not normal at least!

I hope for your sake she is not a normal since you paid $100 for both. My normal has a lot of blushing too and especially right after he sheds he has an "orange glow" to him....but he's just a normal. As for the other one, if nothing else he has an AWESOME pattern and can probably make some really pretty babies. I'd buy one :)

How do you know when your snake is awake? When its moving? I hardly EVER see my snakes move... So they sleep for like 2-3 days straight?

Even if you did get two normals for $100, you're still saving money over Petco or PetSmart prices... ;) But post the pastel pics and you'll get the answers here for sure... :gj:
