ringer

A ball python with a discoloratioin that forms a ring or semi-ring of varying width around the vent area of the snake. Seems to be a trait that is only randomly reproducible.

high gold

A snake with a higher than average amount of yellow/gold coloration. Some high golds are genetic, others are not.

clear belly

A ball python with no pattern on the 3 wide belly scales.

and why balls with these cost so much more?

Basically because some people have a personal preference for these traits over normals. They are cheaper than a morph but more expensive than a normal. It's kind of a way to have a "wanna be morph" without spending morph money.
