    Small black dots throughout belly?

    Hi I'm new to this website, but my girlfriend and I we have 25 snakes most of which are ball pythons, and they're all doing really well, not really concerned about the spotting on this snakes belly just simply curious about what they could possibly be, they don't move or come off or anything and my girlfriend says that more have appeared since its last shed so any input would be greatly appreciated, the snakes morph is a bumblebee and was sold to us as being het pied thank you 🙂

    From what I can see it just looks like part of the pattern. The photo is a little fuzzy (probably too low light), but they do not look like a location that would be mites, fungus, or sepsis blisters. Is it possible they were always there and went unnoticed? Sometimes BPs will develop small changes to pattern after some time though, especially there can be really light subtle spots that get easier to see as they grow. I know I've seen it in CG/banana and stuff in the YB complex a lot.

    Re: Small black dots throughout belly?

    yea i was lookin at a banana online and they do tend to have little black dots throughout as they get older..obviously thats not a banana but my reg bp has that too.. not that they just appeared but she aslo has little black dots so thats what i was wondering too. Im not an expert or anything bv i've only had her for a little over a yeaar so you're definitely more expwerieced than me so this is just as a side note.

    Yeah I was wondering if she had yb in her honestly and if those spots just started appearing because of that. I hadn't noticed them on her when she was younger but it definitely seems like they just keep popping up more and more each time she sheds out.

    With YB, the belly isn't where the spots would be appearing, as the belly is pretty clean on YB. Spider is my best guess as the culprit since it thins out the darker pattern, it may be near impossible to see parts of it as a hatchling.
