Golden Child ball python????

[ballpythonluvr]

What exactly is a golden child ball python? I have seen very few pictures and to me it looks just like a normal with some nice gold tones to it. Someone I know is selling one for $225. I know nothing about this type of ball python mind you. I have no intentions of buying this snake I am just curious if it is a "morph".

Can't help but wonder why you'd name a morph after that movie where Eddie Murphy protects some magical "exotic" kid who eats leaves.

Exactly! This is why I questioned this in the first place. It looks like any other pretty normal to me. I am not one to have an eye for the more subtle morphs but I just wanted to see if anyone ever heard of such an animal before. Now I feel kind of silly but I had to question it for my own curiosity.

I thought Golden Childs were just in the Retic morphology. I've never heard of a Golden Child Ball Python.

I've never heard of a golden child bp morph only Golden Child Retic morphs.

i agree, its a retic morph. never heared about it in the context of BPs.


if you are looking at a normal BP advertised this way, its the same old story: someone is making stuff up to advertise a normal. just like the normal-looking pastel. or the infamous het spider. or, recent case: a pastel double-het hypo clown that looked like a normal.

but then, im not ruling out the possibility that its a more reputable person working with a dinker project. do you have a link you can share?

also offtopic, but.... how the heck did that happen? kylearmbar, what device did you use to make the forum post?

Could it potentially be a young retic being advertised as a BP? Because in some states retics are regulated/banned/require permits/etc. but anyone looking to buy a retic would know what a "Golden Child" is... and that it's not a BP.

Sounds like a reticulated python or a made up morph. Haven't seen them in the BP world yet, and definitely not for $200.
