I've seen pictures of black backed and halloween balls and I did not see too much difference between these and those. For black back, maybe it is a degree difference, but in this one the black is only interrupted only twice verse none on a black back. A normal it may be interupted 5-10 times. So I saw these as intermediates. You can't fault me with that. With the spotted, almost all its side blotches were terminated prematurely and did not reach the belly. Many normals do not have it. It may not be a known trait, but is there such a thing as a purely spotted ball python? I don't know. If not, why would someone not be interested in designing one?



Also, one writer makes a point I did not consider: that the color can change when it grows. I think this is a good point to make for anyone buying a ball python. Many sellers don't say this or advise the clients that what you see may not be what you get in 3 years.
