    My New BP Morph or Not?
    Hi all Im very new to BP's in general...

    So far my wife & I have; 1.0 DH Snow Boa - 1 month old
    1.0 Bannded/Jungle BP -1.5 months old

    :confused: the one in question is a 0.1 sold as a normal BP - 1 year old

    heres a few pics of her...the to 2 things in question are, one is she a pastel or some other morph? Two she has a perfect square on her side thats pure white almost like a piebald mark? THanks for any thoughts or advise...

    She's super bright, and her head markings are interesting. She'd make a good dinker project for sure. I don't think that white spot is too uncommon for a normal, but I'd raise her up and breed her with a fire or something, or anything for that matter and see what hatches. Can you get some pictures of the eyes and belly?

    She looks like a browned out pastel especially with the blushing. But unless you breeder her you will never know.:D

    Nice bright normal.
    The white on the side is just a variation that some have and some don't.
    I am curious though, is that a scar on the top of her head?

    Cool, thanks for the thoughts & comments... and yes she had a small dark mark on top of her head when we got her 5 days ago, and she shed the night b4 last and that mark on her head turned white... is that normal?

    also here is a few pics of the others...

    Gopher snakes are funny to me because where I grew up in Arizona they were everywhere and if you corner one they will try thier hardest to look like a rattle snake. They will coil up and hiss Ive even seen them shake thier tails back and forth like they had a rattle on it LOL...

    This Gopher Snake eats like my month old Boa Andi... He would probably eat him self to death if I put a dozen mice in with him...

    Normals have amazing variety! It's getting harder and harder to tell cinnamons, pastels, granites, and other such morphs from really nice normals.

    My youngest normal female, for example, is getting brighter as she ages! The white from her belly seems to be creeping up her sides into her alien head markings. It's really cool... I'll try to get a picture or two if she'll sit still while stretched out long enough. :)

    And a very pretty girl you have there! I would certainly see her as a nice dinker.

    She's very bright, sort of like vanillas. I'd definitely think she was a great dinker project. Breed her to a pastel to see if you get supers, or just extremely bright pastels.
    She's a gorgeous girl for sure! Congrats on her.

    It's hard to tell how much of the brightness is the result of your flash. Can you get some pictures in natural sunlight?

    And white doesn't mean pied - the rest of the body pattern isn't pied patterning.

    She doesn't look like a pastel either.

    HOWEVER, with that said - she's a VERY nice normal!

    Re: My New BP Morph or Not?
    and if these people convince you its a normal i will most certainly buy it off you at a pastel male price since its contraversal

    Re: My New BP Morph or Not?
    i cannot belive the speculation,sorry!not only is it a pastel but a very nice one at that!the third picture gives me doubt but the rest show at least to me a sweet pastel!

    butters!
    Re: My New BP Morph or Not?
    just to make sure could you get a belly shot?most pastels have pretty clear bellies.as for the spot,its common on any bp,just some flamage

    DUDE! It's not a pastel and if it were, why would you pay male prices for a female?

    Why, because it's "contraversal", of course! (insert sarcasm here) :D

    I think this snake is very beautiful, and would make a nice pairing
    with just about any morph, but I don't think she's a pastel.

    Nope, not pastel. Probably bright flash combined with some good color, but not a morph. A very nice snake, tho, who could make some really bright babies if bred to a pastel male. :)

    Re: My New BP Morph or Not?
    i was pretty puckered up last night so sorry for the multiple posts.i would still like to see a belly shot.for a normal those flames are insane!the third pic looks like a definate normal but the other two make me think.

    Re: My New BP Morph or Not?
    take a picture with out a flash it looks like a pastel with out some markings and at the same time it looks like my high yellow normal( with a clean almost perfect white belly kinda like a russo)
    take a belly shot to with normal light

    Re: My New BP Morph or Not?
    sorry guys about the delay... I will post a few more pics tonight, you guys are probably right about her just being a bright norm & about the flash thing... Ill do a belly shot but dont know what it could prove.?.

    Re: My New BP Morph or Not?
