Spotnose
Base Morph Incomplete Dominance (Co-dom)
INTRODUCTION:
The Spotnose Ball Python is a colour and pattern altering mutation that can easily be told apart from a Normal Ball Python by its extreme head stamp, lighter colouration across its dorsal pattern and mostly circular “alien heads”.
VISUAL DESCRIPTION
Head: The head of a Spotnose Ball Python is almost always dominated by a large headstamp, often said to look a lot like a skull and spots along the top lip.
Body: The body of the Spotnose Ball Python is usually covered in circular, unconnected, “alien heads” that tend to exhibit singular spots, rather than the multiple “eyes” of a Normal Ball Python.
Belly: The belly of the Spotnose Ball Python is similar to that of a Normal Ball Python, with smooth bright scales and spotting being variable on an individual basis.
Tail: The tail of the Spotnose Ball Python is usually dominated by a serrated dorsal stripe.
