    what do you think?

    Thinking about picking up this snake, and was wondering what you all think? I don't have much info it it yet other than it's 3-4 foot long. All opinions are welcome.





    Sorry if this is in the wrong spot.

    Did you mean to put that in "is this a morph?" because if so that is a normal ball python

    1.0 Pastel Poss het Albino (Thor)
    0.1 Normal (Chloe)
    0.1 Tiger Reticulated Python (Jade)

    Check for burns. It looks like it's being kept on a hot rock. Toss that in the garbage right away and get a heating pad. It looks a little thin to but nice pattern. How much and what area? Is it male or female? Is it going to be your only snake? Have you ever owned a ball python before?

    Re: what do you think?

    Look at the coloration near the end of the tail. It is possible that it could be a darker pastel. Our pastel Is lighter near his tail and darker at his head. But" has the :green" eyes. But... as lotsaballs said, check for Burns, check for.mites, and in my opinion, flip it on it's back and see what It does, it should correct itself to a upright position, if not, well don't buy! That's my two sense..
    1.0 Pied Ball Python (Rumple Stillkins) 2.0 Normal Ball (Simba) (legolas) 1.0 Pastel Ball (Isildur) 0.1 Normal Het? (Sarabi RIP 2013) 1.0 Burmese Python (Sephiroth) 0.1 Granite Burmese Python 1.0 Albino Burmese Python 1.0 Tiger Retic (Steve Irwin RIP 2012) 0.1 Lavender Albino Tiger (RIP 2012) 1.0 Spider Ball Python Spidey 1.0 Pewter Ball (pew pew) 0.1 Cinnamon Ball (Cinny) 1.0 Lavender Albino Retic (Old Yeller) 0.1 High Contrast Albino Retic (Sunshine) 0.1 BCI (Ruby)

    Thanks for the tips on what to look for. Thought it looked a lil thin myself. If I ever hear back from the seller it would be my third ball. I have a quarantine area ready in a separate room in the event that one of my girls is ever in need of it or if I were to happen to get another snake.

    Agreed, a reduced patterned normal that is on the thin side. I would definitely check the belly for scale rot. I've looked at two CL bps and both had scale rot.
