Please help identify this morph

Can anyone help me identify this little girl? She's in pretty rough shape, previous owner was a clueless fool with an iq of 5 or 6... has been using a heat rock all winter. Poor thing has several burn scars, one which is recent. SUPPOSEDLY she ate last week.....

This snake has a crazy pattern, and extreme yellow coloration. Compared to my other bp's, it seems a different species almost. The snake is molting now, so coloration is dimmed, and lighting in the room is horrible. These pix are the best i can do until tomorrow.

Thank you for your contributions!

What color are the eyes? I wanna say a pastel, but the head seems too dark. work on getting her better and post pics after shed :), there are more qualified users than myself who can answer, if she seems hungry offer her a meal

can't really tell for the sheen from the soon to be shed skin, but it looks yellow and brown...

How rude of me! :welcome: to BP.net you will find tons of useful info & help here. What is your set-up like for her?

Here is a link to caresheet for Ball Pythons:

I see that she is in a screen enclosure, she will need her humidity to be over 50% to shed properly, so you may want to get her a better enclosure.

Here is a link to a tub set up:

Thank you for the links and welcome!

We have several enclosures, and our animals tend to play musical chairs from time to time.... o.0

but are well taken care of.

She's headed for a life in a tub, I am gifting this snake to someone else, who has a male spider and is interested in her for a possible breeder.

I hope she isn't in a enclosure space in the musical chairs, because she should be quarentined from all your animals, without one of yours going into a enclsoure she has just been in. You don't want to risk yours picking up something from her.
It's hard to tell from the pics. Once she sheds, post clear pictures. She could be a normal, a pastel... just hard to say. Check her eye color too.
Good for you for rescueing her too. Welcome to BP.net.

She is in the game. Understand though, our cages are cleaned inbetween switches. If all goes well, she'll have a permanent new home this week, with her own personal tub for life. If she sheds for me, i'll post some new pictures. I'll take some outdoors in natural lighting today as well.

Current temps are 82f ambient, 60% rh. She seems happy :).

A very quick way to rule out whether it's a pastel is to check the belly. Shed or not, you can see if it's clear. Pastels always have a beautiful clear white belly. Most normals have some sort of speckling or dark patterns along the sides and/or center of the belly. Based on the limited pictures, I'd say that's a normal. Might be a "high gold", which is just a description of a normal color variant. There's a tremendous amount of variety in colors and patterns even among "normal" ball pythons. She's very pretty!

Welcome aboard! :handshake

Thanks! I'll check on that when i take her outside for pictures. :)
