NORMAL?? Looking for input

I've been on the fence about this girl for a long time. One day I think she's "normal", the next day I think she may be holding something. I've only bred her for the past two years, but the babies do not have her yellow blushing. They do have some blushing, but not yellow. It's very hard to photogragh her color, but here's an old belly shot. Please tell me what you guys think.

Frankly it doesn't look like a normal from this angle. Perhaps you could post some shots of the sides and head?

If it is normal I love me them alien heads :p

Looks like a pastel maybe

interestingly, right before that last alien head to the bottom of the pix is a white patch that raises more intrigue into wether its a norm or not...

i have a female thats kinds the same... she's "normal" whith a little something extra that has not been proven out yet... but you know what?

dinkers are what make the game so interesting.



pastel? check this.. if she doesn't have the head fade + green eyes, not pastel.. i thought my lady was, than that was pointed out to me, and made sence.

but special? yup

Doesn't look normal to me.....not sure what it is, but not normal. Have you tried putting her with a pied or a het pied? That white spot sookie pointed out is very interesting:)

Here's a few old pics from when she was gravid last year. Again, it's hard to get her color right. It's almost as if she will change. Sometimes almost greenish in color.

I got her in 2001 from the Orlando(or maybe it was Daytona by then) expo. from Ben Seigal. I don't know if she was a captive born or an import. I hope that she carries something. This year I'm pairing her with a Mojave. Maybe that's the key...

idk what but thats a beut! of a lady! keep us updated.

Well, definitely not a pastel, though I was pretty sure it wasn't from the belly shot. I have a female very similar to that in colouration (at least the gravid picture). Basically it's normal until proven otherwise. Did any of her offspring resemble her?

Looks quite normal to me :)

One special normal, it looks like.
She's prettttttttty! :wuv:

So far none of her offspring have her yellow blushing. For the past 2 years I've bred her and another female to the same male.(Different male each year) The offspring in her clutches definetly looked better with more blushing, but nothing off the wall.

The only reason I said maybe a pastel was the colors looks kinda similar to my male pastel

hormones make snakes change colors, some more drastically than others, should seen my normal last year, she looked like a vanilla or fire before she laid eggs, took about 3 sheds after that and she looked 100% normal again. My other 2 normals lighten up a tad, but nothing drastic like the one girl

I have a normal male that has a slightly larger white spot like that and he came from a normalXnormal breeding! I just see a light coloured normal!

Here are 2 babies from this year. The blushing is hard to get a good shot of.

What I find more interesting than the yellow blushing is how the black on the alien heads is sort of washed out and gray. Somebody else once posted pics of a female like this one, I don't remember if they proved theirs out though. Good luck anyway! :D
