Not quite normal.

So I've had this lil guy for a while now and need some input, got him as a rescue from some guy on craigslist who was starving the poor thing. He looks like he might have something in him maybe, and he's got this weird head shape going on.

His color is normal wild type
but his head looks extra bubbly roundish...

Almost looks Desert-ish...Cool snake!

He has meaty little jowls. :rofl: Gorgeous color and pattern.

I was thinking the same thing.
Whatever it is, it's very pretty.

Ahhh! shatter pattern! did anyone else see that??? i love the head! but seriously i see a shatter pattern :D

Post some more pictures please! Looks awesome, can't tell morph wise though unless more pictures are posted. Belly shots would help too. :)

Definitely something worthy dinking around... Very nice Find :gj::gj::gj:

Very cool pattern, but I can't help but be nervous about breeding with the strange head shape. Possibly slightly deformed in the egg? I know certain deformities can also lead to interesting patterns, but wouldn't want to end up with a troublesome clutch of possibly messed up snakes :O But it could have been a random occurring issue and not genetic. This little one seems to be alright at least!

Ill post more once he gets done shedding. The bubble head shape is pretty weird but according to the vet he's just an odd ball lol. :P

Until I see other head shots, I think it looks worse than it is because the round head pattern sort of accentuates it.

Very true, it could be the wrap around pattern making it look bigger. It looks bizarre from this pic, but probably isn't as bad!

Those were my thoughts. If you cover up the connecting points that most balls don't have on the back of the head, he looks considerably more normal shaped.

Ooooo he is really cool. Great rescue! I'd definately dink around with him.

Great find. I agree with DemmBalls it looks like it has some Desert in it. But a great dinker non the less to play with.

heres a belly shot and another better body shot

Wow he is really cool! No idea what he is other than an awesome normal. I would definitely breed him and see if it's genetic!

He looks like he could use a soak..........He is cool lookin though.:D
