maybe.. havent decided yet. I also have access to males not listed.

Your new female looks remarkably like my light normal female. Most people who don't know any better mistake her for a ghost, but anyone whose seen an actual ghost knows she's not.

Normals come in an amazing range of colors and patterns.

This is my light momma:

This is also a normal:

And so is this one:

See how different they can be ?

Yeah only mine is seriously banded and if you look closely you can notice that the head is completely blushed out like a fire would be.

It looks like a realy nice normal to me. "Normals" come in such a vast array of light-dark, reduced-busy, reddish-brownish-yellowish that it's easy to see one vs another and think it's massively different.

Of course, what we hear very often is "The camera doesn't capture the 'look'..." which is certainly true. I have my own 'dinker' females that no matter how to photograph them, the 'odd' part doesn't seem to come through in the pictures.

If you think she's a dinker project, I look forward to seeing if you can prove something out. Otherwise, you've still got a gorgeous normal.

Here are my three normals. Like everyone has mentioned, they vary in such a wide variety that "normal" s just a horrible word for it.

I suggest using him/her as a dinker and try to prove it out. If not, it's still a very pretty "classic" ball python ;)

Lgray that second snake is killer looking! Was it w/c, c/h, or c/b? If captive bred what were the parents? As to the op I have a beautiful normal that could pass as your snake. I love her light coloring. Try and prove her out though. We all have our own dinker projects. Good luck!

Thank you! Her and my other female came from the same breeder Eclipse Exotics. I loved how they both look, and I honestly can't remember the pairing they came from. They both just caught my eye, Audrey because of her orange tint, which really is orange in person, and her sister because of her high white outline and killer pattern (doesn't show well in that picture). I thought for "normals" they were well worth the money even with shipping. Both are CBB :)

This does not look like a normal

Looks banded to me.... I stand to be corrected

Even if she IS a nice normal, she would be the perfect mate for other 'light' morphs! Breed HER to a fire instead of breeding a fire to a dark normal!
