    Morph help

    Hello I was wondering if someone could help me figure out a ball python more. A friend got this little hatchling in at his work, a bit skinny but nothing a little bit of tlc can fix. It came in marked as a normal ball python, but I have the feeling it's not entirely normal, or just a really fancy normal.

    Just an FYI, picture that are not in your hand tend to show more of the animal, but from what I can see, could be woma, one of the many banded morphs, or could still just be a normal. Offspring are the only thing that might give you some insight.

    Sorry those where the photos that got sent to me, I can ask for better ones if that means a better ID.

    There nothing to ID really, bands like that come in morph form, but also can be a polygenetic trait, which basically mean it is a normal.

    If the animal displayed some type of wobble like the spider, I would think more towards it being a woma or morph like it, but still would need to see offspring.

    the bands on the head almost connecting to the dorsal stripe could mean something...but I'm no expert. Beautiful snake either way.
