grey normal ball python?

has anybody ever seen a grey normal patterned ball python you know how norms are usually like a golden brown? well the one i have is greyish with chocolate colors, nice blushing,faded head and high flames any input?

Pictures are the best way to judge if something is going on with genetics.

Yeah, definitely need pics.
Full body, close-ups, belly shots and head pics.

That's definitely a beautiful normal you have, though because of the lighting I'd be hesitant to say you have a known morph there. Super good looking though, if you ever plan on breeding I'd definitely use that one in the projects to see if the good looks pass on.

Normals have a lot of variation within them, that's definitely one of the best looking normals I've seen though!

Id say possible axanthic. I agree with Alexandra, reallyyyy nice normal^

I would agree with Alexandra. Very good looking animal. If you get the chance, take some outdoor shots on an overcast day. It presents the best lighting for accurate color.

Yeah, that one makes me go hmmmm?? She pretty.

Hi,

For this to work we need pics with good lighting and a known colour source - stick a can of coke and a dollar bill next to it.

Also has this snake shed for you? Was there anything unusual about the shed compared to your other snakes?

i had her under a dome light my gf was holding it right over her yeah i agree shes beautiful i just rescued her from some guy that had her in a chicken coop she was all cut up on her belly but with a lil tlc shes back to normal thanks for the input evrybody

she just got done shedding today maybe 2 hours ago

Very pretty snake, I'd definately be keeping it to see if I could prove it out if it were mine. There are a number of things that can cause a snake to appear axanthic, some are genetic and some are not, until it can be proven one way or the other, it should be considered to be wild type.

Hi,

If she shed that recently go look at the shed and tell us if it has a pattern on it.

the shedded skin is in the alley next time ill keep it

thank you all again

The first shots I couldn't really tell but those last ones...wow! She's a greaaaaaaat looking animal, normal or not! I'd definitely hang onto her and see if she proves out as anything if you have plans to breed her. Regardless, she's a beautiful snake, normal or not; thanks for sharing. :gj:

this... all of this

yeah im gonna hold on to her shes a very pretty snake thanks again everybody

She kinda looks like a hypo more than an axanthic :gj:
She also has the look of BPs who have lost their color during breeding season o_O.

Wutcha feedin her and how often? How big is she?

im feeding her xl rats every week and a halfand im not sure how much she weighs i have a 2200 gram female and she feels heavier than her

She's incredible. Seriously gorgeous snake you got there :wuv:

thank you

She's a beauty...i love "unusual" normals...Maybe she's hiding a secret in her genes. Good Luck with her.

thank you

She definitely looks amazing and is worth holding on to!:gj:

yeah im keeping her shes locked up with my spider male right now thanks for the compliment on jazzy

I really like her coloring regardless of whether it's genetic of not! Keep us updated on whether any of her offspring look unusual.

ok will do!:)
