I have been trying to capture this snakes true colors with my digital camera for a long time. The other night I bought a canon rebel K2 35mm slr. It was a good decision. She isn't a proven morph, she is shown with another normal for comparison...

Absolutely beautiful! Although I have to admit she looks like a really light normal to me... but hey I've been wrong before

Normal, morph, whatever she is, she is gorgeous!

There's just sooooooooo much variation in normal ball pythons that it's almost mind boggling. The trick is to be happy with WHATEVER you have She IS gorgeous.

With my luck she's normal. I would be happy if her color was dominant, I'm not even hoping for co-dom or rec.

I have an animal that extremely similar, also a female. And you are right, it's VERY difficult to capture the "look" of this snake in a photo. Seen in real life there's little doubt as to it's unique look. I am glad to see another with some of her outstanding features (wide white outlines, and head spot). Perhaps it will prove heritable, seeing your's certainly makes me feel better about the possiblity. Thanks for posting.
