It's not what comes to mind when I think 'Granite Ball'...

I usually expect to see alot more 'speckling' and a chunk missing from the next stripe.

That being said, I'm sure he/she might lend some of that blusing to a Pastel or Mojave or Cinnamon clutch.

Could it even be a het 'Leucistic'?? Weirder things HAVE happened...

Have you tried using a hidebox to get them to sit still?

Let 'em crawl under, get comfy for a minute or two, ready your camera for the shot(s), lift the hidebox, and snap away...

I use that techinque for everything from Boids to flighty Colubrids like Corn/Rat hatchlings and even Pituophis and Indigos....

I have a female that has similarities to this one, and I am keeping her to see if anything proves out. She has velvety, blurry outlines on her pattern, high gold, yellow speckling on pattern, and dorsal pattern, and brown fading in-between. I also have, what is not a "reduced-pattern," but rather a dramatically reduced size-of-patten with tons of blushing in-between. If it's a male, I wouldn't count on anything but a female can at least lend those traits to other morphs through influence if she isn't genetic.

I agree with backbeat...solid snake though. Honestly, who the heck can tell anymore? You really gotta think that the next ground breaking genetic find is going to be from something non-descript such as this.
