Anyone know what kind of BP this is

Lady has him/her listed on a local for sale site only as stating "fancy ball python". Was thinking of trying to pick it up if I can get the price right.

She messaged me this morning and said she thinks pastel. Doesn't look like a pastel to me, hard to tell from her picture though. What do you guys and gals think??

Normal

Doesn't look pastel to me either, but I'd get another pic not behind a screen.

Normal.

Thanks for the fast reply guys. I just sent her a PM and asked her to send me some better pics out of the cage, If she sends them I will add them here. Thanks!

I've never seen any BP listed as "fancy" :P Definitely looks normal though.

"Fancy" "jungle" "wild type", all fancy names for normals lol.

PetSmart lists pastels,spiders,cinnamons that ive seen as "fancy"

That one looks normal tho.

I'd say normal

PetSmart here sells "fancy Ball Pythons".
One of which I could have swore was a normal but after discussing what it could be and looking closely it turned out to be a very low quality pastel.
Could be the same sort of thing going on here.
I'm not a huge fan of using normal females to breed morphs on the cheap but, personally would prefer a good looking normal over a crappy morph to get fresh blood into projects and that way possibly contribute unknown polygenic factors to produce higher quality basic and designer morphs.

Here is the ad on the local garagesale/website. Still no additional pictures.

Hard to tell because of the screen, but appears to be a normal with some blushing

Fancy is her way of saying I have no idea what it is but it's pretty..looks like a normal

Asking 300 wow. I'm pretty sure I can come up with some fancy pythons that's way less that price jk haha

When I see posts like this on my local cragislist I email them and tell them what their snake/enclosure are really worth. They don't like hearing that what they're asking 350$ for is actually worth like 125$. I often get called a host of bad names for it too. People don't understand that what you PAID for something is not an accurate measurement of what it's WORTH. I've seen a person asking 400$ for a 40 inch long normal ball python that was listed as an exotic dwarf red tail boa. Ridiculous.

Ok she just sent me another picture of the snake, It's a normal no doubt. I would post the picture but it is wrapped around her neck and I wouldn't post a picture of someone without there permission. I should get my pastel female out and send her a picture of what a real pastel looks like (doubt she cares though). I'm gonna shoot her a crazy offer of basically taking the snake off her hands since she quote "knows nothing about snakes" and "needs gone ASAP". I will offer to give it a good home, but give her $300 I will not do. LOL

I also saw this one on Craigs List. I thought they were asking way too much for the snake and the housing doesnt look like it holds heat very well. Looks like a screen on there, not glass. I could be wrong on that.

Petco sales a Fancy Ball Python that is normally a ball with a lot of blushing or is really a pastel (sometimes). However, the prices are jacked way up for non sexed animals so this is maybe the case and why she is asking that much... She could of gotten it from Petco
