New Reptile Owner



Is she an oridnary Ball or a Morph? Sorry, I’m new and got her from a local pet store which didn’t even have any info of what they are selling :person_facepalming:t4:

Happy New Year and welcome to the forum! More than likely your girl is a very nice looking normal. Although it’s a well known fact that I am no morph expert and just about everyone here will vouch for that! :tired_face:

Anyhoo, great to have you! :+1::snake:

Looks normal to me. Possibly pastel but nothing else. Congratulations on your new little one :grin:

Yeah, after research, i thought she may be either norm or Pastel. Was hopin Pastel, but norm is cool too. Also, thx :grin:
Once I’ve done more research and become knowledgeable, i may get another attempt to get into breeding Balls. Thinking of purchasing an Albino.

Thx and much appreciated :grin:. Yeah, I’ve come to the conclusion that she’s either a norm or Pastel. Based on pics ive seen of, she’s bit bright for norm and could possibly be Pastel. Happy new year to u as well.

I am not seeing pastel in this picture. It is a nice looking normal, from what I can tell. Could just be the picture and my eyes.

Hmm, so just a vibrant norm :thinking:
Gotcha :ok_hand:t4:

If you buy a BP from Petsmart there is a very strong possibility that you will be getting a normal. Once in a great while you might come across a pastel, hence the label, “Fancy Ball Python”. But on average Petsmart sells normals.

However Petco seems to sell the more expensive ball python morphs. So there is obviously a difference between those two pet stores at least.

But at the end of the day you have a really pretty animal!
