Unfortunately due to the forums server crash it would appear that my post vanished into the ether so I’ll try again. Basically I have had my Male ball python for the last 3 years and have always assumed he was a normal. Lately however I’ve been looking into breeding and as a result researching morphs and it has cast some doubt as to wether or not he is indeed a normal. It’s not something which is of great concern to me I love this little guy either way but it would be something which would be nice to know.

The two main things that have caused the doubt is how bright he is in comparison to most normals I’ve worked with and have seen and as well as his pattern seeming to be greatly reduced. I have attached pictures and the head picture is the best representation of his colour.

He is at 982g (empty) last time I weighed him which Im so happy about because this little guy had me panicking for a long time after he went into a fast which lasted 18 months!! In that time he lost a total of about 76g but this was over a year ago since it ended and he’s recently developed the appetite of a boa haha. Maybe it’s the new males scent or just he’s decided he want to fatten up more. Either way I’m happy to indulge him in his current binge.

Also on a slightly different note I was given a black eyed Leucistic (Super Fire) who is solid white with not a single scale of colour in him. I have just discovered the ivory ball pythons and they appear very similar and so if anyone knows how to visually tell them apart that would be great .

Thank you everyone in advance.
