Just a pretty normal?

Looks like some of my het pieds.

Id say go for it, theres a lot worse things to spend $80 on, and as envy said the belly looks like the het pied "markers" if it doesnt pan out its still a nice looking normal to have around, id def try n see if theyll sex it for you first though, at least knowing how long itll take to see anything might help you make up your mind.

If they won't let you check the sex, I wouldn't spend my money with them. My pet store learned really quickly that they could move adult females out more quickly if they let me sex them. Prior to that, I simply walked out of the store and left their $50 snakes in the store.

If they wont let you check it out just walk, sounds like a rip off to move a normal. It could have pied markers or it could just look like that. you could go get a pastel for nearly $80. it may be hard, but just walk;)

tell them if they want to make you sales, you need to know the sexes of their snakes - simple as that. Otherwise, walk. There are sooo many interesting normals in the world just waiting for some love. Check out this one for example:

$30, and guaranteed female. No need to mess around with the empowered n00bs who are running that store.

If the store doesn't know what the sex is, and they won't let you check for them, don't let the door hit your backside on the way out. Sounds like a place that has a lot of snakes and no snake people. Sexing a snake before sale is about as basic as it gets.

BTW Morphie, that is a nice little normal. Almost looks like it has some Pastel going on. I'd buy that little girl all day long....oh wait, I don't breed so all my BP's are going to be male...crud!
