    Odd dark Ball

    This is a male ball at my work that everyone there has considered normal, but every time I see it, I just think there's no way this is possibly a normal ball python. He's a proven breeder and his offspring show the same dark features (along with a granitey pattern from the mother). He looks really cool, just want some opinions on possible morphs. In person, his hue reminds me of a camo, maybe it's a chocolate??? He's very dark, no yellow anywhere, and has a fairly reduced pattern.





    Here is his belly.


    I know these threads get old but the help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

    I'd say that'd be a cool dinker project... There have been some subtle morphs proving to have some insane supers and combos!

    I have one exactly like that that I am going to breed next year, same belly pattern, same lack of yellow, same everything pretty much. She will hopefully prove out next year and if so I will be happy. I am going to breed her with a normal male I have.

    Sigh... looks like I can't avoid the ball pythons even if I try. I think my store is selling him, maybe they'll give me a deal on him and one of his offspring (who were bred to what looks to be a weak granite)

    It was actually a really high quality camera so pretty far from photoshop. And I think I can still say the old favorite:"the pics don't do it justice"
