“Rose Belly”

[alittleFREE]

Drove past a pet store today and had nothing to do so I checked it out. Small family run thing, but they had tons of reptiles.... unfortunately not that great of conditions though. So I got out of there pretty fast because it was depressing.

However, I did notice something strange that piqued my interest. One of their tanks they had what appeared to be spider ball pythons, but they labeled them “Rose Belly Spider Ball Pythons.”

Is that even a thing? I’ve never heard of rose belly before. I googled but nothing came up. Maybe they meant Yellowbelly?



I thought I took a picture of the snakes but apparently I didn’t.

"almost burned belly ball python"

I actually have no idea, but advertising a pink belly is the first thing I thought of haha

That’s what I was thinking too, haha.

Either that or the snakes are about to go into shed one was in blue now that I think of it...

I think it looks more like its belly got dyed LOL. I don't think ball pythons even produce that pigment naturally.

totally agree, looks like someone let it sit in a shallow bath of kool aid or red pedialyte (that last one being feasible)

Could they have meant orange belly? Try calling and asking - could be an uninformed pet shop that got the snake from a breeder that made the name up.

No, no, you're ALL wrong...it's a cross between a ball python and a rose-haired tarantula.

I'm sorry to have to correct you, but the truth is it's a ball python cross bred with a red bellied piranha...hence the red belly. Der!
