Yeah that was just after I cleaned tank and laid substrate down. Shes resting in her hide now, but at the time of the picture there was nothing in the tank. Not even a water bowl.

Popping can be very dangerous for a snake if not done properly. I would suggest having a reptile vet or an experienced herper that you trust do it.

With some of the broken up "alien heads", it kinda has a granite look to me. I have no personal experience with granites, but thats what I see.

Id say granite. That was my first thought. Now is it just a flook in the pattern or is it genetic, thats the question...and one that can only be answered by proving her out.

Nice pickup!

Granite's usually have a broken neck stripe or a dot in the neck stripe. A nice normal ball python with a cool pattern unless it somehow proved genetic. Good luck!

Looks like a granite to me but there are normals that look like granites. So you'll have to breed it to prove out the genetics.

I didnt mention granite just because IF it looks like a granite doesnt mean its genetic. I have a VPI granite that will hopefully lay eggs this year and prove to be genetic, untill then she is just a big normal girl to me. A buddy of mine has a female spider that doesnt have a specle one on her but almost every clutch she lays is dirty granite look:confused:

Granite looking yes.

The real question is will she pass it on genetically.

There are hundreds if not thousands of "granite looking" snakes, and only a very few pass the look on.

Looks like a normal w/ a granite pattern to me. And she's a nice one :gj:

[QUOTE=Seeker;1821883]I just bought this snake for 65 dollars. I was told that it was a female granite. I was also told that it weighed 2-300 grams, and eat of friday. Yeah NO! It doesn't have a bit in its belly, and only weighs 94 grams. I just want to make sure I got a granite. I can deal with the rest. Is it to young to find out what sex it is if you pop it?[/QUOTE]

if you ask this question, then get someone else to pop it. not knowing what you're doing can harm the snake by trying to pop it..
