    Baby Morpheus
    Hey everyone,
    These are some pics of my first ball python "morpheus"
    I just got him a little over a week ago its supposed to be a pastel ball python but since im very new to this im not 100% sure :confused:

    can someone tell by these pics ?
    ( which for some reason i cant get them to load bigger )

    he already had his first feeding on tuesday and was sucesfull i feed it live since the store told me thats how they were feeding him, on tuesdays and live.. but been reading a lot that shouldnt feed live... or is it ok ? he also already pooped so thats a good sign!

    well here he is: :snake:

    It's hard to tell from the pictures, but pastels have green eyes and a clean belly. So, check those two things out :gj:

    well the eyes dont seem to be greenish but the belly is kinda clear and very white.. i paid $139 for him does that sound right for a pastel

    Pastels do have green eyes and a very clear belly. Although your snake has awesome color, I'd have to say it's not a pastel.
    Sure is a looker though!

    It looks like a low grade pastel.

    Would that affect eye color?

    Once youve been looking at balls python morphs for a few years you will be able to tell. Notice all the blushing, the high colored orange/yellow, then the really brown back? It might not be the best looking pastel, but it is. Im guessing that they bred a not so nice pastel to a dark normal female. Some pastels heads are just darker, ive seen some pastels with brown eyes( Really dull green maybe?) It just happens sometimes. Hopes this helps!


    I do love the blushing on him though!

    My pastel's eyes are super dark green, like I had to look really close under good light to tell they are green. It's kind of hard to tell the color of its eyes without being able to see them up close imo.

    It does. Thanks! Both my pastels have pretty light eyes. I thought the green was pretty much the norm when it came to pastels. Thanks for the explaination. :)
