I'm confused. How do these comments even related?
My opinion confirms nothing. Like I said, and have said many times, ball pythons can take an appearance outside their genetics. In cases where developmental and incubation can brighten a mutation and often can, as could be the case here, determining genetics can be very difficult without the solid base/clutch results to compare, etc.. I can easily see how this could have been mistaken for a pastel desert, and I mentioned I would have sold it as one based upon how she looks on eggs...
I'm still hopeful she is a desert. Guess we will have to wait and see..
