    Re: What morph is this little guy
    He looks normal, to my highly untrained eye. Wait for some people with more experience to share their opinions though :)

    Edit: And that's why we don't listen to me! :)

    Looks like a Cinny. What do you think it is?

    Kinda looks Mojaveish. Very thin whatever it is. What's the story?

    I'd say it's a normal. It has cinny-ish coloring, but the pattern is way off, and I'm not seeing anything that resembles a mojo.

    x2 Definitely no mojo there, and I can see the cinny thoughts due to the coloring, but not the pattern.

    I got him from a local guy who sells them and Iv been reading around here about all these different types of bp's and he doesn't know the exact type I just got curious as to what my little guy was, I guess he's a mixed breed haha

    Ball pythons aren't like dogs in that every dog is some breed or another and if you can't tell its a mix. Unless he was sold to you as a morph he is almost certainly normal ball python. Think about it like this. You see a ton of pennies in your day to day life. Almost all of those pennies are totally normal. There are pennies that are worth big money. A 1943 copper penny could be worth $10,000+. This forum is a lot like a coin collecting forum. You hear about and see all the rarest and coolest parts of peoples collection. That doesn't mean that they are common. Unless you payed extra for it assume you have a normal ball python. Don't be too upset though. Some of us really love the normals. Its what drew me to Ball pythons and I will always love them.

    Def a very unique looking normal! Unique is good :) oh, and as long as he is taking down the food, he will Def look like some of the big beauties u have seen on the forum... quicker then u might think! Just give him prey items slightly higher around then the thickest part of his body every 4 to 5 days. He looks pretty thin. 2 or 3 months of that and he will plump up for ya. Once he gets bigger u can drop off to every 7 to 10 days if u would like. Enjoy! Bet u will have more in the future! Lol

    Yep, a cute little normal. :)

    Yep normal for sure. The thing ya gotta ask yourself is you got him from a guy that sells them. Therefore this guy should know what he has for sale. Also another thing people need to consider when trying to find some new morph at a petshop type setting is that most babies that get sent to pet shops have been checked and double checked. The fact that pet shops generally buy the cheapest animals they can find should be an indicator that your not gonna find anything special. Alot of petshops get captive hatched or wilds. If they are coming from africa they are not just plucked out of the bush, bagged and sent to the petshops. They are checked in africa and graded and then sent to the importers. These importers will also check them and grade them as either normals or specials. Usually the specials will either be sold online or at shows. The regulars will be wholesaled out. The guys in africa know the market and know what to look for. They arent a bunch of bush tribesman just loadin bags of balls. The facilities in africa are pretty state of the art as far as this. So in a nutshell your most likely not gonna find some new morph in a pet store.

    After seeing your second pic I'm changing my vote to Normal. It's amazing how different the same animal can look under different lighting.
