Next two photos are what she looks like in just regular lighting. No lightening, no light bulb right over her. You can see how dark she is. I wanted you to get the sense of how lacking she really is with the gold flare up from the belly. https://ball-pythons.net/gallery/fil..._194936787.jpg
I also wanted to give you a closeup of her eyes. Not sure if this is important to how you'll figure anything out, but her eyes are a little different. She has a goldfish hue at the top and dark greenish hue on the bottom. Not as light as our pastels we have, but I still can see it. Unfortunately, the photo isn't that good. But I'll post it anyway. https://ball-pythons.net/gallery/fil..._195153692.jpg

Re: My little pinstripe
I got a response from the breeder. He said that her father produced some calico pinstripes in 2020, but none in 2021. So there's that, calico. But wouldn't calico make her more white? She would be lighter correct? He also informed me that pinstripe is great at hiding other morphs.

Yeah Calico would cause white, mostly at the bottom sides like Spider but some up into the mid sides. I agree, pin is great at hiding morphs lol, but what shocks me is I can't think of a morph to explain her lack of pattern AND darkness, like maybe she even has a couple subtle morphs giving her overall look if it's not something unique or new. But after seeing the normal, I'm leaning toward it being something new.

Wow, that is weird. I wonder if there is anything I could do to figure that out? Just out of curiosity really. That would be interesting if it is something new, it would be good to know.

Test breeding would be the only way and it's a pain in the neck to get a new morph established lol.

Re: My little pinstripe
I am sure it is. Haha. Too bad no one invented just taking blood to see. I heard they were working on something with sheds? Correct me if I am wrong. I thought I read that somewhere.
