I've got a good many morphs but I still think normals are beautiful animals. So if someone posts a pic of a Pastel that's more brown than yellow, you're not going to hear me tell them, "thats an ugly Pastel" or "your animal is not up to par" or such.
And before someone says anything, I believe in selective breeding, and I think you should strive to use the best example of a morph you can find for your breeding projects, but not everyone intends to breed their animals.
As long as the animal appears to be in good health, well fed, no stuck sheds, in other words, if it looks well cared for, it's a beautiful Ball Python IMO. I've never seen a healthy BP that I thought was ugly. Sure some are nicer than others, but it's all good.![]()
