Please help identify this morph

Thanks Judy! Apparently it is not going to be warming up today, so I've just put a heater in the sun room to get it warm enough for a beauty shoot. I'll bring out a normal and a high yellow normal for comparison as well.

See you soon!

It looks like she's in a mesh enclosure. Mesh/screen enclosures do not hold humidity or heat very well. I'd suggest switching her to a tub or tank, ASAP.

As far as her "morph", I'd say she's an interesting normal that has dinker potential.

Correct, mesh enclosure; the rh of the room is 52 right now...

All of our animals are housed in our "Snake Room", which is set up for the requirements for most. 75-85f with basking areas, all enclosures are tried and true, and have been in use for over two and a half years.

I really do appreciate the constructive criticism, but i'm not having health issues with the animals. I simply would like to know if this is a pastel, as it is so different from the normals i have, and have had (even the high yellows). Pictures are coming soon, so please be patient. I do not want to move the animals until the sun room is warm.

She is not a Pastel. She is a normal and would be considered a normal until you prove her out (Genetically). She's a very pretty girl though. :)

The genetic consideration is a sound idea. however, i would like you to take a look at a few pages of pictures i came across. I noticed several that do not look pastel, but many with the same type of crazy pattern. Can you link me to some info on patterns and localities?

When it comes to balls you usually see either very reduced, very busy, or somewhere in between when it comes to patterns. Normals have a high amount of variabitlity to begin with. Unless you're working with a genetic pattern trait such as a spider, or clown there is a lot of variabitlity that can take place. There is no locality that is more patterned than another. There are some theories that snakes with many hooks in there pattern could be carrying something recessive but it is very much a theory with no concrete proof.

I would be really curious to see what that snake looks like after a shed.

Well, I would like to assure you guys that Mr.Biscy is taking good care of his herps. I personally know him, and hes a great keeper. :gj: Also, I'll be the one recieving the snake, so eventually I can post up some macro shots.

here are a few pictures; it's overcast, so still not perfect.

Thanks for the replies!

After viewing the pictures and the snake in the light, it's obvious the snake has eaten recently. There's the answer to that question!

Looks like a busy patterned normal, definitely not a pastel, but very busy pattern indeed.
