Male CH Ball...opinions please!

rdfun Feb 02, 2008 01:02 PM

I bought this CH male ball as a normal and that is probably what he is. Either way I love this little guy and the more he sheds the more colors come out. He shed today and wanted to post this to see if anyone thinks he may be something besides just a normal.

Thanks
Richard

Hi Richard,

I don't know that I can help you on what he might be, but I think you have a very nice looking snake there. He appears to have nice color and a blushed head. I really like his banded and reduced pattern!
Best of luck with him!

Thank you two for your inputs and kind words. I just thought I would throw the pic out there for people to chime in on. I know the pic isn't the best in the world. What's wierd to me is the amount of orange/peach coloration that comes out more with every shed. Anyways, thanks again for taking the time to post.

Must be one of those genetic banded.

Did you buy that from Even Stahl? He has some beautiful genetic banded pastels for sale.

Great looking snake!

No I actually bought it locally out of the paper in Jacksonville Florida. When I saw him I just couldn't pass on him. I DO think there is something with this little guy. I am also wondering what anyone might think would be a good mate for him to test the waters? Another banded? Pastel? Just curious.

Thanks
Richard
