I got a new ball python and...

Something came to mind as I was checking out his beautiful eyes just to double check and verify he was a cinnamon, although it was way obvious by his chocolate brown head and coloration.

So, my question is...

If a ball python shows no signs of a morph, but, has eyes that look similar to that of a pastel, but a bit darker, could that mean shes co-dom or het for something?

I just was wondering as I have this beautiful normal girl, with, some random bright spots here and there, but, nothing special, but, her eyes are amazing, a darker version of the pastel type of eyes.

Her mom was a normal possible wild caught, her dad's eyes supposibly looks like hers, and, one of her brothers which recently died was a very bright labyrinth pattern with that bright spotting but much more.

Thanks! I just was wondering. I just always assumed she was a normal with pretty eyes, but, if someone knows something I dont please let me know!

I don't think eyes are necessarily a sole indicator of a morph.
Have you read the morph hunter's guide? But if you were planning on breeding her, she sounds like she'd be a pretty cool mom if you breed her to a morph male that has good looks!
