A pleasant surprise from a buddy

[DC Reptiles]

Well I thought today couldn't get any better and then I got home from work and my buddy had a surprise for me. Let me know what you think of my new little one.

he/she is a lil cutie xD

my buddy said its a gentic stipe, I just thought it looked cool, I"m still learning all the different types there are but he said he was giving it to me for only $50, I have no idea what they go for.

No, it's not a genetic stripe. They don't have that kind of pattern on the sides. It's a normal wild type ball python though it does have a very nice stripe. $50.00 is a little high for a normal, but then again that depends on whether or not it's worth it to you.

well thank you for the insight

yea 50 is like pet store prices but they do go for around 80 at petco and petsmart

I was just in the local reptile shop and he has a very nice normal going for $100. He would probly do the same with the normal in this thread too. I think it just depends on the pattern of the snake.

Did your friend maybe say the snake was "het" stripe?
