This fall I bought a ball python with no intention of breeding, so I wasn't too concerned about genetics, I was willing to take whatever was reasonably priced and easy to handle. The breeder I bought mine from said he was a normal and also pretty sure he was a yellow belly. I've been looking into it a little more, and that was also the conclusion I came to.
However...I showed the pictures to another ball python breeder the other day, and he said that he thought my snake (Phoenix) was a mystic. I don't think he is, but I could be wrong? Opinions?
