    Reduced Pattern?

    Hallo! I have an alleged reduced pattern. I thought she was normal, and had no idea what a reduced pattern was so I was pleasantly surprised when I found out she might've been one. Does she look like a reduced?








    She's going into shed and the lighting isn't the best. I just need to know if she's reduced, though. Thank you for your help!

    Re: Reduced Pattern?

    Her pattern is reduced, which is to say there is not a lot of intricacy to her pattern and there are few dots/markings within her side markings which many would refer to as alien heads, because the shape along with two dots resembles an alien's head. That being said it is still likely a classic/normal ball python. The questions is when she is bred, does she replicate her pattern in her offspring consistantly. If so then she is a genetic reduced pattern ball python. She is a lovely snake either way. Thanks for sharing.

    It's a reduced pattern normal not a morph.

    Some reduced pattern are genetic however many are not.
