I own two ball pythons. A banana pastel and a White diamond BEL. They are awesome and I love them! But, I'm considering my next BP to be a normal.
Recently, I decided to get a boa. I had a lot of fun spending hours every night researching them and deciding which type I'd like. After researching them I really fell in love with all the pure localities of boas and realized that there is something special and beautiful about these snakes, that evolved and adapted to their environments. Not to get too religious (for those of you who are not) but, I also felt like this is how God intended them to be. I ended up purchasing a Tarahumara boa that I'm super excited to receive in the next week!
So, I got to thinking about all the crazy and different ball python morphs. You have to admit they are amazing! But, while you can find unique specimens (where all the morphs started) in the wild,I doubt you will come across a mystic potion or a banana pie bald in the wild. I'm not saying all these morphs aren't technically natural but, many are certainly a product of man.
So, I began to think. Have we gotten so caught up in the excitement and beauty of new ball python morphs that we have forgotten about the natural beauty of "Normal" ball pythons?
Do you like or dislike normals? Would you consider purchasing one, even if you have lots of amazing morphs?
