Re: Need help to identify my new ball python
Some people call them IMG, (increased melanin gene). So far none have proven genetic to the best of my knowledge. They seem to hatch less dark and take on the darker appearance as they age.

Re: Need help to identify my new ball python
those are some nice dinkers, where are you getting these beauties from?
Re: Need help to identify my new ball python
That is an amazing snake.. I don't think it's normal but.. I'm no expert anyway..
Aren't you from Indonesia? I often see your nick on local forum. Please update us if you decided to breed him.
Can't wait to see the result. Who knows there can be a new morph of BP from Indonesia :D*wishful thinking*:D

Good luck at proving them out!
Re: Need help to identify my new ball python
If that stripe were to prove genetic, I can think of some amazing possiblities.
Re: Need help to identify my new ball python
great looking snakes you got there
Re: Need help to identify my new ball python
dude it's a freaking chocolate ball python brian from bhb has some similar ones and whom ever said it's a normal is dead wrong
Re: Need help to identify my new ball python
This is one of the reasons why I think the experts should get together and form a Ball Python (or any snake for that matter) Morph Consortium or something similar to the AKC for dogs. I can see myself getting easily fooled by some breeder selling a very pretty normal with some unique patterns as a high-priced morph. More important with the hets. So, if there's an official certification process, then hobbyists can have some form of guidelines. I paid lots of money for my AKC certified bichon frise even if I had no intentions of breeding the dog just so I can have the best chance at getting general bichon frise personality traits (double-coating to reduce shed, playfullness, high tolerance for kids and other pets, etc.). For ball pythons where most hobbyist build their collection through breeding, the certification becomes more important, I think.
Just my opinion, of course.
