    Re: Possible Phantom or am I losing my mind?

For example a yellowbelly is not a looker of a snake, they're often pretty darn plain but yet it's still a morph is it not....and like the mystics and phantoms...they aren't that much different from a normal when looking at them. So yeah there are a few of us out there who are still working out the kinks between a normal and something not so normal. Don't get me wrong, I have normals, and I KNOW they're normal, I'm not sittig here saying oh that spot is half a centimeter to the left of where it SHOULD be, it must be a morph. But visually this girl looks not a thing like my normals or any of the many many normals I've seen. I've seen some oddball dinkers who she resembles but when I look at her she just doesn't look like your average normal. I'm not trying to hit some morph jackpot here thinking she's some rare new morph of snake that I can sell for boat loads of money, I just wanted to know if she could possibly be something a bit different. I've seen many posts on here as well where the snake is a flat out normal beyond any doubt but I'm sorry if my girl didn't catch me as your average ball. I guess I feel like some of us who aren't quite sure and take the time to ask and then get that feeling of being stomped down into stupidity from the feedback we get kinda makes it where it's pointless to ask. I'm not disappointed with her at all, she's still a gorgeous snake no matter what and her babies are all little beauties that do carry some nice genes but I don't feel so optimistic about posting a picture question again, a lot of us are still starting and really just need some genuine helpful feedback instead of a rant about the multitude of normals they see on here.
    Edit: Thanks for the positive feedback boasandballs, gonna breed some back to the parents and see what pops out.
    If your that positive that is it something, just breed it out and see. It's as simple as that. She's a very pretty snake, but Im going to agree with the majority that it's just a really good looking normal. Very nice pattern.

    How come i've seen like two dozen threads in the past week by people with normals thinking (or just hoping) that they have morphs when they really have normals?
    Because maybe people are interested in other views on their animals. If it bothers you, dont open the thread. I'm jut saying.

    Just my $0.02
