Anything else in her?

This is probably the worst carpet in the history of carpets to show off his colours and pattern

If you look through one eye he's nearly camouflaged

Wow, you meanie !! LOL !!

I have to first drink a Guinness, then close one eye, squint with the other and turn my head sideways before he's nearly camouflaged


Beautiful snake, love the "granite" pattern the lower sides ..

The Chocolate gene is really a tough one, looks like a dark normal. But you'll know for sure if you breed it with a lighter normal and half the babies come out dark, then you know it's genetic. And when you cross two chocolates together you get a Super Chocolate, further proving it's genetic and co-dominate. But just to see one dark normal looking snake, for me it's really tough to tell.

What would make her look more chocolate? I've been searching these forums and online but info is so limited and mostly to mixed morphs, but since you seem to have an image in your head I'd love to hear it!! Thanks so much

The yellow and tan just doenst look right for the Chocolates that I have seen. Usually its more of a darker caramel color.

@cchardwick makes sense! Perhaps someday I'll have the time/money/desire to confirm

@PitOnTheProwl I see. Like in this new photo? Or even darker? This was one the owner sent me before I got her. I haven't taken good daylight photos yet

I say she could be chocolate. Chocolate is a tough one especially beyond fresh hatch with a normal sibling for comparison. Sable is a gene pretty close to chocolate and I questioned that guess looking at the initial photo. Photos can be tricky though and a Sable ball photo in incorrect lighting can look like a normal with granite like markings.

The slight blushing along the spine. Normals don't usually have that. However she does look a lot like a normal. But the blushing is so slight you really have to look.

Thanks so much for the opinions everyone! It's certainly tough to see differences.
