    Very pretty snake--once she's recovered, her color may change, she is in pretty rough shape. She's got great color, and could pass for a fire, but probably isn't.

    Give her couple sheds to Clear up and then will be more easy to say...
    BP's can change colors.. during lifetime... my YB have dark phase and lighter sheds.. enviroment can affect collor a bit... I definatelly put her firefly in the future..
    If She stays light like that Pastels and fires coming out of that pairing gonna be awesome.. and if You'll hit bel that means she is fire...

    You may want to put some neosporin on that tail, and such, and keep a close eye on it--any sign of infection, and you'll want to get her to a vet.

    I agree, even if she isn't a morph, she'll throw some GORGEOUS fires and pastels.

    You guys are so nice and helpful. I am an old Herper, really just a rescue person but have become unable to work due to a horse accident so I am thinking about breeding a few BPs and corn snakes to fund my rescue habit :) I saw this girl on craigslist for way to much money, got better pictures of her (on sand,) asked for a better but still too much price and got her out of there. The guy has another one, a 'mean' one he might let me have I am sure in as bad of shape as she is. The mean one is supposed to be the male. I do not know the sex for sure, didnt really matter just wanted to help it. Paid $150 for her, hubby said she is my valentines and anniversary present, the 30L cracked tank full of play sand with a wood lid and no heat. Why she is alive boggles my mind. I will have her sexed when she is better, hubby works at the local Zoo :) and I am also vision impaired so quit trying to sex the snakes anymore. I worked at a vet clinic as a tech until the horse crushed my leg so have access to whatever meds she needs. I will definitely take the advice from people here when it comes time to find a mate for him/her. Is the general consensus that she would best be paired with a fire or firebelly? Would either prove that she might be a fire? Again, the tireless help from complete strangers never ceases to amaze me :)

    Does Bel mean Black eyed leucystic??? If it does I have goosebumps :) :) I think I will take her and have her sexed the next warm day in that case and then start now looking for the best opposite, a Firefly you say might prove her out?

    Not sure at all, but will try to find out soon. The only thing I know for sure is that she is chewed up, beat up and hungry :) and I am bit hard by the BP bug.

    BEL can stand for Black eyed leucistic (super fire ball python) or Blue eyed leucistic (super mojave, super lesser, super butter) in this case it is a black eyed leucistic.

    To prove her out you can use a fire, or firefly depending on your price range (a fire costs about $150 and an Firefly costs $500 +

    This is what a firefly looks like:
