    Granite?

    Let me apologize right off the bat for being one of those guys that shows up and says "Do you think this is a morph?" Story is, I got this girl as a normal, but the breeder said she was a dinker and was holding back her sister who looked similar. I know he mentioned that she looked like a granite to him and he thought something about her belly was interesting, but someone else was talking to me at the same time and I didn't catch all of what he was saying. I'm more of a colubrid guy and a lot of the subtle morphs (granite, yellowbelly, enchi, etc) look like normals to me, so I just thought I'd check and make sure she doesn't actually look like anything special to anyone on here? Thanks.

    Granite? Yes, definitely.

    Is it genetic? That you'll have to find out by breeding her.
    Granite isn't always genetic.

    How to tell:
    There's lots of speckling in her windows, instead of just large spots. She even has the neck spot, though it's a small one, and that's a marker for genetic granite--so it's worth proving her out to see. At least, if you have an interest in granites. She has some nice flames, too.

    Granite isn't really all that subtle, it's pretty easy to distinguish.

    Not a good idea to keep your snakes on pine.. Just a heads up.
