My first ball python

[Albert Clark]

I would think yellowbelly for sure ! Consider enchi also to get to the super form as well as red stripe. Certainly another het clown or even better a visual clown. He looks like he may have orange dream or maybe yellowbelly existing. Check back with the seller for confirmation on what other possibilities he has that he is aware of. Ask him also about the parentage of your guy. Enchi is a coloration / brightening enhancing gene as is yellowbelly. That ball python is awesome, good luck.

Another possible gene is sugar. The only reason I say this is it looks like there is a decent amount of white creeping up on the sides.

I'll definitely ask him about it ! Thanks for the suggestions.

Indeed he has a lot of white on the sides. Here is a closeup.

That's a nice looking danger noodle

Just handled him for the first time this morning. I have had him for a week and a half. Fed him last friday and waited for him to digest. Handled him for maybe 5 minutes and weighed him. He was 491grams. Heavier than I tought lol. He was nice and was exploring everything in my room.

He's very handsome & obviously loves that hollow log.

He does lol, he'll outgrow it pretty fast tho, he's already a bit crammed in it

They usually like (prefer) that feeling- they feel safer from predators. So keep that in mind when choosing his hides too. (Only one door, not too big; low ceiling, & overall not too big.)

By the way, it does seem silly to buy hides for a snake that will out-grow them very soon, so to give them the cozy feel they like, you can make a larger hide seem more snug by putting a wad of paper inside it while your snake "grows into it". (Like when kids get new shoes that are a little too big, so they stuff paper in the toes, lol.)
