Possible Pickup, what do you think?

We just saw this one for sale.
Right now I don't know if it's male or female.

Do you think anything genetically/morph is going on with this, or is it just a different looking dinker normal? I lean toward normal, but I'd like your opinions. It has a lot of blushing, a light head, a few bands, and a very patterned belly.

I'll try to get them to send clearer pics later, but for now, here's what they've sent...

Thanks for looking! ;)

I am not an expert, but that looks like a very nice looking normal. I'd get him/her even just to look at. Very nice pattern there.

Looks normal.

If you have room and can afford it then get it.:)

Looks normal to me. But the pictures are blurry so I may also be wrong. Any clearer pictures?

I think she looks ghostish. And, skinny. Also, be sure to ask about the white splotch on her butt, well if balls had butts.

But, very gorgeous.

Looks normal I'd say. The picture is kinda blurry but it looks like there is either a Ringer mark or a scar near the tail.

Yeah I see that white mark also, wonder what that is.

Very good looking normal, if you have the space and the price is right, I'd take her/him.

The price is $75 with tank, belly heat, lid and lamp, but I'm betting they'd take $50 for just the snake.

I don't know if it's a male or female yet, though...

Hopefully we'll get them to take some clearer pics and get them to me.

Normal until u breed and prove otherwise

Looks like a skinny reduced patterned normal

Here's a closeup pic of the white spot and head.

My biggest is about what your interest in using it as a dinker project would be.

I could pick it up for $40. She doesn't know if it's male or female. Because it doesn't really fit in any breeding plans, and our setup is small, I don't know that it's worth fitting it in.

So, would you go for it? Not just for the cool/oddball look, but for a dinker project to go for...

If you have room for quarantine, I might pick it up myself solely as a rescue. the white looks like a scar, to me!

I don't think that looks like a scar. It's not just a patch of white scales, the pattern around it is different as well and the scars I've seen are just white. I've never seen anything like that, I'm quite confused actually LOL :confused:

It looks like a possible banded/tiger ball python! If it was female, I would definately pick it up! Very interesting belly pattern!

Looks like something is wrong with its right eye, maybe a retained eye-cap?

Yeah, it has retained eye caps.

I just am not sure it's anything worth dinking with and making room for. I'll probably be passing on this one.

Any other opinions on it being a possible banded type? --genetic?

Thanks for all the replies so far...

My big guy has some scars and none of them look like that, I agree that it may not even be a scar. Also the belly pattern is pretty sweet. If it were a female I'd pick it up for sure.
