What is she?

I recently adopted a ball python from a guy who wanted to give her a better home. Whoever he originally got the snake from, said that she might be some sort of morph. She's shedding in these pictures, but hopefully someone can still tell me what she is.

She looks like a pretty normal with a cool pattern :)

Thank you. :3 She's only the second snake I've had, so I'm not too great at identifying colorations and such.

Welcome to BP.net and congrats on your new baby! Here is the caresheet just in case you haven't been bombarded with it yet.

I agree with LGray, she looks like a very pretty normal. :)


Is that her setup in the picture? Does she have any hides?

Yes, that's the setup she came with. There is a hiding log for her. But I want to buy a bigger tank. I also plan to pick up a new heating pad and extra hide at the pet store when I get her food, because the current heating pad that came with it isn't working and is small (the same size as the one I was using for my 20 gallon with my baby ball python.)
I bought her because she's extremely friendly, and my friend sold her to me for $60, which included the tank. I'm quite happy with her.

i swear like 98 percent of what is this morph are normals

And most of the threads are started by beginners who are just asking for help and clarification. It might be obvious to those who keep balls and have experience with them, but I can see how some might wonder with all the different morphs out there.

OP: yep, a cute normal

The pictures aren't the best but I see a bit of blackback/reduced stuff going on in a couple of the shots. Being a female I'd definitely breed her a few times to see if the offspring showed similar traits. Nice looking girl and welcome to the forum!

Thank you. :3 I'm not sure what a blackback is, but I do hope to breed her once I trade in her tank for a bigger one. I feel like she'd make some pretty babies, morph or not.

did u get this in Washington?????

No, I got her in Monroe, Michigan.

Black back is just what it sounds like, a snake with a black back.
Some are genetic, some are not.
IMO your's looks like a genetic reduced pattern or a black back, either of which is a great trait to have in a female breeder.

She looks like she's very skinny, assuming it is a she.
Who sexed the snake for you so you know if it is a female or a male?

If it is a female I would make sure you get her healthy before contemplating breeding.
