Odd coloration on normal female
Just picked this normal up from a store around me, shes about 700 grams and is in great condition. I am basically wondering weather i should try to prove it out or if it is just as odd ball(the creamy white patches).

Looks like a little IMG going on there..IMG = irregular melanin gene a few people have then and that I know of they have yet to be reproduce..
But its a really cool looking snake..I'd keep it..
Re: Odd coloration on normal female
Is it possible this gene can influence others like bring out or enhance certain traits.

Looks like pigment loss to me. I have a rescue girl who I got as an adult last year who had patches of that; they were bright yellow-white at the time and the rest of her was normal. They're still there but over time the pigment has been coming back in normally with each shed; a little, little darker each time.
Your girl is pretty though! The only thing I can say is wait and see! Maybe I'm wrong and she has something going on!

Nothing wrong if you dink w/ her, specially at that weight, she could even be ready for breeding next season.. Who knows, the color change and hook may be an indicator of something special.. :)
Re: Odd coloration on normal female
i will update some pics after her next shed cycle and to honest i didn't even notice that hook she has in the third pic is that another abnormality or just something that happens? Well only time will tell i guess but thanks for the input everyone.

This link might answer your questions regarding the hooks, personally I love seeing those on bps.
