    Pastel spider pinstripe - correct?

    Hi all,

    I'm a vet student, shelter employee, and ball python owner, and the shelter recently got this little cutie from a horrible neglect case. She was emaciated, dehydrated, and covered from head to tail in flaking stuck shed when she arrived. She's gotten a full vet exam and a proper enclosure and is currently in foster with me until she is at a healthy weight and has at least one good shed.

    Anyway, I'd love to confirm her morph so that she will be correctly labeled when she's put up for adoption. She looks to me like a pastel spider pinstripe. She corkscrews and does not self-right, so the spider is obvious. She will have a memo attached to her profile about her spider gene so any potential adopter is aware of her neurological issues.

    Thank you!

    Others will help you with the morph question- I don't touch BP genetics- but very cool that you're fostering her & I hope she does well.

    Thank you! I think she'll do great - she's lively, friendly, and eating like a champ

    That seems like a correct ID. She is awfully bright so might be Fire or something else in there in addition to those.

    Re: Pastel spider pinstripe - correct?

    Spider pinstripe and pastel aka as spinner blast can have a different dorsal line that is bare as it traverses the body. Usually noticeable in younger animals. Typically starting from neck and towards the caudal region. In larger sub adults and adults the bare or clean dorsal line diminishes as the striping and flecking cover and come together more. The coloration of the eyes ( green) leads me to believe that the pastel gene is at work here. Total body coloration is also consistent with spinner blast.
