Help US help YOU

I have seen a LOT of "Is this a Morph" threads that really do to give us enough information to really make an educated guess.

IMO, for us to help you, we need the following CLEAR shots, with as natural of lighting as possible:

1. Head
2. Full Pattern
3. Belly
4. Any other distinguishing marks

If the snake needs to "settle" or you cannot get the pics, you may need to wait. Also if you look at the pic and the color is way off, try again as color can be very important. If you are getting the pics from someone else, they should be able to get you the views you need.

Without good input from you, we cannot give you good output.



Here is an example:

I picked up this girl today and I think she may be a Morph.

Head:

Pattern:

Belly:

Other marks:

I already know that this snake is a Specter (het Super Stripe, Whirlwind) but I think these are decent examples.

Very nicely done Jinx!:gj:
Definitely should be helpful for people looking for help ID'ing their animals!

The only thing I would add is an side shot of the overall pattern.

Good call! That would help especially for the ones with flames/blushing.

Sticky in the "Is this a Morph???" forum? ;) It sure would be helpful for future posts in that forum. :) Just sayin.

Great idea Jinx!

Thanks guys. :)

I did my best not to come of as a jerk, and hopefully this will help folks get a better answers to to their questions.

You didn't! :)
Great thread, this needs to be stickied.

On a side note - I absolutely love the heart shaped marking on the side of your Specter. ADORABLE!

I agree. Nice idea to help people give the proper pics/information. :gj:

How do you ID a specter? I would never have guessed that.

That second snake that just got posted is tricksy. Back end looks normal, front end looks black pastel-y. Dorsal shot also looks like there's something going on. Anybody else think I'm crazy?

The point of this thread was not to ID the Specter, she was just the snake I grabbed. The point of this thread is to give examples of CLEAR and specific shots to help ID morphs. I posted it after a ton of fuzzy, poorly lit shots were being put up in the "is this a morph?" section.

Thank you so much for posting this!!!
Great example also. You highlighted the key facts.
Greatly appreciated!

Uh-huh. I think you're just trying to keep the specter formula a SECRET.

(Seriously, I went through several threads just now and looked at the examples on WoBP, but I really don't get it. I'm gonna start a new thread.)

I just got this beautiful pastel, but she looks like she has more to her

Hello just needing some help trying to decide if this is a B.E.L. spied or a Black eye Lucy? Got it on Craigslist and previous owners didn't know. https://app.photobucket.com/u/Ooohhh...9-4fc8d8ac3c99
