    Question about possible pied.

    So I was at the west palm beach show yesterday and bought a gorgeous little female, het for pied. She's got a cute little spot on her head and some nice colors so I thought what the heck, I could use a little project.

    So I take her outside to sit on the picnic benches and look at her in the sunlight and I notice that she's got a tiny patch of white on her neck. I've got plenty of other balls and after going home and looking at my normal, I didn't see any sort of marking like it, so I'm wondering if it's at all possible that I got a SUPER low white pied? She's got a few other patches of white, smaller still, along her sides in random places and one, single white scale on her back.

    Here's one of the patches-

    Oh, and as for morphs right now I've got a pastel, spider, granite, this little girl, a yellow ghost, a mojave, spotnose, and a normal. Obviously I can make a bumble bee, but what morph should I try to get and make to go with the others?

    No. That is a typical marking of a Ball Python.

    That is not a Pied patch.

    Okay, thanks. I didn't see anything like it on my normal so I thought I'd ask.

    Re: Question about possible pied.

    I've discovered the fastest way to tell a low white pied from a ringer or normal is they always have crazy patterns.

    A member posted pics of some of his super low white pieds, and while one is almost indistinguishable from a normal from the top, the crazy pattern gives it away.

    Even extreme white ringers have a classic pattern where the white is not, so that's how you know it's a ringer and not a pied.

    There is no orange in the bp so it cannot be a pied! Trust any breeder would not sell a pied as a het pied! I would get a albino to try and get an albino spider! They are killer!
