    What Morphs am I dealing with?

    This is a picture of my younger snake I got from a local pet store. Do you think it is an Enchi Morph? Or maybe just a lighter variance of the Normal?

    This is my larger snake I bought from a friend. I believe it is the Normal Morph.

    i also see that your two ball pythons are in the same tank. it is better to house them seperatly. take a look around the site, especially the care sheets. you might also want to bump up your humidity. the bigger one looks like it had a bad shed.
    just some suggestions!!!

    Both normals.

    This whole "is my snake a morph" thing is one of the biggest cliches on these forums, lol.

    So is the lighter one just a lighter morph? Does Normal Morph mean that they have certain pattern of markings? They are just a lot different in color. As you can see the smaller is a lot lighter. If I was ever to breed them together if they are opposite sex would they come out with anything interesting you think? Or just more normals of the same two colors?

    Cliche maybe but I am new to the world of ball pythons. An I have seen the crazy plethora of colors and variations that they come in. Or more accurately what came about from selective breeding. Its not unlike pitbulls. I have a papered blue fawn blue nose pitbull who is gorgeous. Blue nose pits are like different ball python morphs they were selectively bred for aesthetic purposes.

    How do they come out with all these Morphs? I mean people would have had to breed them for a long time selecting desirable traits to get ones of so many different colors and patterns.

    its not a morph. its just a normal with lighter coloring. normals are not morphs. normals come in all sorts or shapes and sizes of patterns. if you breed them, you might come out with something cool (but it would still be a normal), you might not. most likely just some good looking normals. however, breeding normals, though it can be fun, is not as profitable. before you think of breeding you need to do a lot of preparing. you cant just throw them together and hope for the best. there is a lot of care that goes into it. make sure you have the supplies you need and do your research!!!

    How can you tell it had a bad shed? What is a good way to bump up humidity? I am very new to this.
