identity issue

mike1234 Jul 28, 2008 02:10 PM

i purchased a pair of childrens pythons at a show a few months back. after doing a lot of research on them, the female is looking more and more like a spotted python to me and not the childrens it was sold to me as. can someone help me determine which of the two it is? the male is definately a childrens, but the female has a totally different pattern.
thanks in advance

I'd call it a spotted. There's a good chance it's a mix, but it looks like it leans toward spotted. Is it in blue in the photo?

Don't feel bad. I bought a "spotted" that turned out to be a childrens. We could have traded if I didn't get rid of her. lol
