Please give this girl a look...

Hey all, got a weird looking BP for you to check out. These are pictures of her beside an 07' normal. These photos are under natural light and are in *no way* altered. I haven't seen anything quite like her but I'm a boa breeder so BPs aren't my forte. Thoughts? Thanks for looking.

Very good looking animal. It has the appearance of a few ball pythons that I have seen pics of over the years. The animals that I am referring to have looked normal and then one day they shed and seem to have lost their color. I do not own, nor have I seen in person one of these animals, but that is what I see when I look at your animal. Do you have any history on that animal? Either way, it is very attractive, and I hope you can prove out that look in the future.

Congrats on a beautiful Ball,

Hi,


I suck at these kinds of threads.

I'll have a guess for entertainments sake till the clever people turn up but I vote for either Enchi pastel or Blonde pastel.

Sadly I don't have any history on her. I got her from someone who didn't want to care for her any longer after she got a slight burn from too hot of a heating pad under her tank. The burn healed fine and she's a fantastic eater. At what age did the animals you're talking about suddenly lose their color? Did they darken to a regular BP brown/gold? I think from her size I'd have to put her at about over a year, but not by much. I have seen no color change after any sheds so far. Thanks for the help!

I do know its not a pastel of any sort, I have seen yellow ghost that look a bit like your animal. If you want send it my way I will prove it out for you (jk). But I like it, and its a good looker.

I see most pastel with faded black markings instead of the pitch black she has so I wasn't thinking pastel either. She is a good looker and I'm sure I'll breed her but I'm just thinking about the best type of male. She's got two years before I'd do it anyway, so, there's time. Thanks for your input.

Told you I sucked at this.


I'd ruled out ghost because I thought it looked too shiny.

I'm not the best at it either, I've bred boas for miles and kept quite a few pythons but never bred them. Eggs make me nervous. Do ghosts usually have a dull appearance? She sort of does.
