What you look for is what appeals to you. I do like brighter ball pythons, like you described, kind of like this girl:




Another thing that appeals to me about her is her very reduced pattern (lack of alien heads) Alien heads are those lighter areas on her side that often have two dots, making it look like an alien's head. She has a couple of dots, but for the most part doesn't have any.

I am also attracted to blushing like on this girl that has some lighter brown on her back, referred to as blushing:


This girl also has blushing that I like:


And if I can find reducted pattern AND blushing together, I'm a pretty happy camper! Like this girl:


Then I get one that breaks all my preferences and is just a nice bright girl like this one:


Some people like the stripes, some prefer ones that are more granite type, some like black backs. Find which one you prefer and you'll seek out the best looking examples that you can find! Welcome to the addiction .....er, hobby!



Now, to the important part - we'd love to see pictures of yours!!!!!!
