He looks like a Ball Python to me ;) Seriously, though...I'm no morph expert, but he looks like a VERY pretty normal to me.

Looks like a light normal but I have seen Axanthics get like that when their older.

He doesnt have a spec of yellow in him.. who knows, he is very grey and black with maroon inbetween.. . That is why I posted it here. See what others thought

i need to take a pic of him next to a normal so you can see the color diff

Reminds me of desert ghost, axanthic, thunder... a very pretty snake, whatever he is, and I hope he passes that color on.

I dont really have the best eye for them, but maybe axanthic - how cool would that be!! I would love to see some comparison shots :)

...he is a normal until you breed him and produce something identical...

...nice looking ball python though ;)

I saw some WC females at the richmond show this past weekend that had that acid-washed axanthic-ish look to them. I'm assuming that this one is WC as well?

Nice find! Looks like it should be a fun dinking project.:)

Thanks giys for all of the replies. He is a WC and was sold as a poss. axanthic with a twist of something??? As daniel said we wont know until It prooves out. I missed this year with him butI guess we will see later on down the road.

thank you for all of the compliments, he is a nice look BP and it would be nice if it prooved out to be something.. if not it will be fun trying

What's really a bummer is I see a LOT of WC with that axanthic look and they soon shed out to looking completely normal.

Good luck with him though.

Well whatever he is he doesnt look so good, So ill take him from you at no cost...... :carrot: No im joking but wow i hope you can prove him out.... Good luck :salute:

LOL, thanks for the compliment. I think he looks pretty good too. It will be a while if I can proove him out.. He might be a whole bunch of nothing but its sure cool if he's not. I got hm for next to nothing so I figured I didnt have much to loose and everything to gain. Especially if he proves out :snake:

Chris, curious as to why you think you missed this year breeding him?


Ball pythons will breed all year long. :)

Ed, Well, i guess I dont know how to manipulate them so they will? I really would like to breed him this year. Can you give me some tips or ideas on how to do that. I have one girl that is so reduced and she was off feeding for a long time and is not back.. I just figured I wouldnt be able to breed her. I felt l missed it. Tell me your thoughts

thanks for the compliments guys. He is a looker for sure.
