My son just turned 16 and he said he wanted a ball python for his birthday. I was shocked and somewhat surprised by this since he has never expressed an interest before. He did have a nice Leopard Gecko some time ago, but since then he hadn't shown a real interest in snakes. I have been a lover of all reptiles since a very young age and always had them around until I got married 20 years ago. I even considered becoming a herpetologist at one time. Anyways, I gladly told him yes (cheaper than a car right?) and we are in the process of getting his cage and all the other odds and ends associated with it and have been trying to decide on which BP we would go with.
He really has an affinity for the GHI Mojave. They are such beautiful creatures and a very interesting morph. My question is, what pattern do you prefer? I have seen ones that with barely any visible side pattern and a fairly solid top pattern (stripe) to some that have visible alien heads on the side and very broken up and random top pattern. I know my son would prefer a more solid top line. Is that more desirable or just a personal preference?
Attached are some pictures I have either been sent or I found on the internet for reference...
