Need help to identify my new ball python

Good luck with him and let us know how his babies turn out.

Here is a somewhat similar looking female I picked up in a pet store along with one of the daughters that proved her genetic.



Of course the hope with anything like this is that it will be co-dominant with an even more stunning super and/or will make neat combos.

Dude I want the baby. Its freaking gorgeous. I wanna be on the waiting list for one of those when you get some. Dead serious about that too.

no way can that be a normal! that snake is hot!

errr wait yes.. yes it is! so... give it to me

[anendeloflorien]

Wow, that is one beautiful snake! No freakin way that is not genetic lol. IDK if you posted it earlier but how big is he/she? I'd get him breeding as soon as you can to see if that proves out!

After shed pictures :

Wow, I rescind my opinion that it's a normal. lol Makes a HUGE difference to see them post-shed. I don't know for sure what it is, but it's definitely not normal. It MIGHT be a cinnamon. I'm going to go with 'it looks like a cinnamon with a full stripe'. Spectacular animal, whatever it turns out to be.

Wow, she is stunning!! I think she look like a cinni with a full stripe.. And is not the maybe something new.. ONly one way to find out- breed her out and give me some babies!! lol. But seriously, she beautiful and good luck with her!

WOW! The difference is absolutely amazing! You've got yourself one absolutely stunning snake. I'm still sticking with my guts, genetic stripe cinny! Prove her out for me

Very nice Luvpet and good that it's a male. How many females are you going to try with him this winter? Hopefully he proves and I can eventually get one of the sons for my girls as I see some similarities. Not having a male yet is slowing me down figuring out what mine might be like or having enough production to sell anything in the foreseeable future.

Juz bought another "questionable" wild type in left of the following photo (please ignore the albino in right lol)

Male 1100 Grams
Any comments?

I will try breed with only one female coz I can't afford too many females but I have to decide which kind of female to breed to. Any advise ?

I'd say try with a cinnamon and maybe a normal just to see whether or not you're looking at a cinny and if not whether it's genetic recessive or co-dom/dom.

Your new male there looks promising as well. I remember seeing a few like that previously but I don't believe that they were ever proven, it was thought that it was more of an anomaly due to incubation temps etc....
