    New to snakes - learning as I go. What do I have?

    I am very new to snakes. My daughter (4 yr old) has been obsessed with snakes/reptiles since she was an infant. For the last 2 years she has asked for a snake (for her birthday, Christmas, etc...). We did lots of research and just got our first snake. A Ball Python. We bought it at a petstore. They said it was a Pastel, but from what I am seeing I don't think it is (but I could be wrong). Someone else told me she was a morph. We've had her almost 2 weeks now and my 4 year old is in love with Butterfly (hey, she named it!). Butterfly seems to be doing very well and starting to settle in. We are learning more as we go!
    Is there a way to post a picture for you guys to look at and tell me what she might be?
    She looks very similar to this picture (link below) but more of a light gray color with pale white (vs the one in this pic has more brownish-gray tones with a buttercream type color.

    Thank you! I look froward to learning more from everyone on this site.

    No cage is too large - nature is the best template - a snoot can't be booped too much

    Welcome and congrats on your first snake.

    The easiest way to share pics is to use the app "tapatalk" from a smartphone. You can easily upload pics straight from your gallery on your phone.

    Could it be a pewter? Does it look similar to this?

    I doubt it is a plutonium coming from a pet store seeing that's an easy grand. You will learn quick, lots look alike and even breeders cant tell sometimes. With a pic, you will get an answer here almost immediately.
