Interesting Baby Ball

[Jay_Bunny]

I work at petsmart and today we received a baby ball python. The first thing I noticed was two spots on his nose. Ive never seen a ball python with defined yellow spots under his nostrils. I got pictures and I'll post them as soon as I get home. I really hope I can get him. He also has some other things going on that I think are cool, so I hope I just found my first dinker. Pics to come. Gotta convince hubby to let me get him now.

Spotnose Ball Python, is what I am guessing.

I love dinkers

A spotnose at Petsmart? I dunno. He has two spots. one under each nostril. I looked up pictures of normals to compare and none of the pictures had the same spots so Im really really hoping he doesnt sell before I can grab him.

He also has what look like het pied markers (though I doubt he is. Plenty of normals have those marks). He also has a spot on his head ( a lighter patch. ) I got pics of all these markings. Won't be home for a bit though

Hi,

I call them boogerballs.

Here's one I hatched;







She is also a blackback with an intresting side pattern so I held her back.

From what I understand, those spots are not all that unusual in normals, and are not a sure sign of a spotnose.

At least, that's what I was told when I asked about picking out a spotnose from a normal.

My pied boy has them as well.

the spots under its nose mean nothing, plenty of normals get those, same thing with "het pied markers". theres several other criteria that must be met for it to be a spotnose

Wouldn't have any idea what it could be if anything. Only one way to find out. Keep it, breed it, prove it.

Good Luck!
