What morph?

Hello I recently got my first snake. Purchased it at pet smart. It was listed as “fancy python” any idea of the exact type of snake it is? Thanks a lot. Sorry if I posted in the wrong place. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e33301f0aa.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5c3d6c029f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...1f5368483e.jpg

Horrible at morphs fire pastel maybe, I am sure someone better will steer you right, congratulations what a cutie pie:P

Not good on morphs, but to me you sound confused about the type too. It's a Ball Python (Python regius).

That’s a Ball Python and as for the morph I would say Pastel. Pastel gives it that yellow coloring and the yellow line patterning across the eyes is an indicator of pastel. If it’s eyes are green that’s an indicator of pastel as well :P

Just some friendly advice though, I would recommend ditching that log hide he is on for a hide that only has one opening. Those are not very secure and will him him feel exposed.

Hope this helps!

Yeah there was another thread I saw where they had kind of buried the back half and made it almost like a cave. It looked pretty cool too lol

Definitely Pastel... Given some of the pattern disruption and the blushing I am half inclined to say Pastel Yellowbelly, but I would want belly pics to confirm.

Mind me asking what a speciment like that goes for at a place like that?

I’m not sure about PetSmart, but at Petco, “fancy” ball pythons are $149. The Spinner I got was in the fancy tank, along with a pinstripe. They also have a category called “rare,” which run $249. Ball pythons I’ve seen in those tanks include Banana, Albino and Genetic Stripe. They sell normals for $69, but I’ve always seen additional signage on the normal tank that says “normal ball pythons 50% off with Pals Rewards” If you’re in the Philly area,there are 2 stores with good selections. My full time gig is in Horsham, and the Willow Grove store is where I got my Spinner. I also work a 2nd job at a Harley dealer North of Philly, so I’ve checked out the Petco stores Feasterville and Bensalem also. They only have normals and said they don’t get much call for snakes. The best selection was the Petco on Roosevelt Blvd. One of the managers there said their GM breeds BP’s and loves snakes. The other night they had 2 Albinos, 2 Genetic Stripes, 1 Banana, 1 Pinstripe and she said they were getting more in on Wednesday, Feb 28th.

I hope that helps.

Yes I have seen some people close the end of the log with substrate I will do that! Thanks.

Yes I believe mine was listed as 149. The rep at Petsmart told me my snake was 39 bucks. They just got him the day before. He wasn’t even on display yet, just chillen in the back room. So I left to check out a store called reptile room, every snake there was over 600 bucks.. So I went back to Petsmart to purchase it, when I went to pay for the snake it scanned somewhere near the 150’s. The manager hooked me up with a deal and I got him for 54 since the rep quoted me lower.

Thanks for the insight on prices, seems similar to Petsmart.

He has black eyes. Does that indicate anything?
