Best Looking BP to Non-Snake People
Hey guys!
In your experience, what would you consider to be the best looking (or most appealing) ball python morphs to non-snake people that you have in your life? Take the whole "breeding potential" thing out of the equation - these people don't care about snake babies. ;) What morphs deserve to be put in the Louvre Museum in Paris for their beauty and appeal to the masses? What's the one snake (regardless of its monetary value) that you're always being asked to bring out and show off?
Personally, I put Pied at the top of the list, but I'm curious to see what other morphs everyone comes up with. Thanks! :D
-
Pied is a good one, but on the other hand I've had people look at one and ask if it was sick or something so I'd have to go with albino.
-
BELs :)
I see them pinned all the time on Pintrest saying "I don't like snakes but this one is pretty"
-

Since money isn't involved in the equation (either way), then a sunset for sure! Most beautiful ball python, or for that matter, snake, I've ever laid eyes on. Maybe someday I will have one of my own (a girl can dream, can't she?)! ;)

My Coral Glow always elicits a few oohs and ahas as well as the Pied.

You and me both, sister. :D I would second pieds. Or any snakes with paradox markings. I have a LOT of people following my tumblr that ooo and ah when ever I reblog a pic of one.
-
This thread is useless without pics. LOL. Each response should come with a pic. :)
My mind goes to the Dreamsicle!

A Leopard Pastel and a Enchi Lesser Pastel are the two snakes I own that got favorable comments on their looks. The Pastel Leopard got a nod after I explained the name of the morph like, "Oh yeah! That makes sense!"
The spare no expense snake was Wilbanks Banana Enchi Clown
-
I once was a vendor at a pets show, filled with cats and dogs. I was the only reptile vendor there. The most popular snake that I had with me by FAR was my pied.

Out of mine the pied usually gets their interest followed by the pastel clown. I find it easier to grab the horsey people in my life with the pied, since "piebald" genes are also in horses.
-
Whenever my friends see my little collection they're attracted to the Pied and the Albino.
-
Out of my collection my pied definitely gets the most attention from the nonsnake people. Even my mom who would never place a finger on a snake thinks she's pretty

Re: Best Looking BP to Non-Snake People
Probably albinos. The colors are so different from the norm non snake people seem to drawn to them.
-
I've got to say the pieds. My parents went to a reptile show with my husband and I and both of them instantly gravitated to the guy selling large rabbits and the pied BPs. :rolleyes:
-
Based on all the non snake people that got to see some of my animals Pieds and Pied combos are always the winners because of their contrast.
-
I agree also, pied and albino.:gj:
-
Re: Best Looking BP to Non-Snake People
I always go with the Pieds when non snake people ask to see one.
-
Pieds are one of my favorites - tied with Lucys. I can't believe I don't have one yet. I'm supposed to stop at my current three, but don't know how long I can hold out. I'm sure there will be a pied in my future. :p

Best Looking BP to Non-Snake People
Out of the collection that me and my boyfriend have. My friend who isn't a big fan on snakes, has slowly soften up to looking at them when I change the water bowls. She even took a picture of one in the bin. She tells me that he's the coolest morph out of all of them.

Re: Best Looking BP to Non-Snake People
whenever I show my friends the snakes I have, their jaw drops when they see my pied girl. She's about a 75% white pied and everyone loves her and is always asking me to take her out. my vote goes for pied.

Re: Best Looking BP to Non-Snake People
For those that love darker morphs or high contrast stuff, Mojave GHI has always been a favorite of mine since before I knew anything about morphs

Re: Best Looking BP to Non-Snake People
My girlfriend isn't a snake person by any means but she was mesmerized by the sight of a dreamsicle so I'm going to have to say dreamsicle takes the cake on this one.

My pied did get a lot of attention until I got this girl. I think the highway is one of the coolest morphs out there right now.
-
Sounds like a resounding "yes" for pieds being the biggest attention getters. Just got my first pied a couple of weeks ago, absolutely beautiful snakes. Most non snake people honestly can't look at a cinny, pastel or yellow belly in isolation and know that it's not normal. Pieds, on the other hand, always get noticed!
-
Re: Best Looking BP to Non-Snake People
Pieds, Bananas, Crystals, Mystic Potions and Lucys!
-
BELs and bananas and champagnes in my experience!
Boas are retics are harder though hahah
-
I would say pieds too. I wasn't a snake person before I saw a pied. Now I have Two Normals and one Het Pied. I hope to get another Het Pied so I can maybe end up with some Pied Babies! Their just... I can't even describe the feeling in words. :) But Panda Pieds are pretty to! But still not as pretty then the normal pied or pumpkin Pied.
-
When I invited (read: dragged) my mom and a friend of mine that was afraid of snakes to a reptile expo, they both really liked the lessers. I'm not sure what it is about lessers, but somehow they were both willing to hold snakes after seeing them and even thought they were cute!
-
My BEL captured the attention of a ton of non-snake people, pure white and blue eyes, I assumed non-snake people since many of them left calling it an albino though despite me correcting them and an actual albino being on the table...

Re: Best Looking BP to Non-Snake People
Pied all the way Bels also.

Re: Best Looking BP to Non-Snake People
Trust me, I have a whole family full of snake phobics. I was one myself and actually sold our dream home/horse property due to a snake invasion caused coal mine blasting. They were crawling up my drains. My brother once checked into a hotel until a pest control company could remove a snake the was in his crawl space.
We welcomed a 6 month old '14 male high white Cinnamon Het Pied into our family a 3 weeks ago. I can't believe how you can become so attached to a snake our addicted to then. Over Christmas, my brother actually held our snake in his hands. It was nothing short of a miracle!!! So, my vote has to be the Pied's.
