I got this female this weekend from my neice's science teacher who couldn't keep her anymore. I haven't seen that many *normal* BPs and I was wondering if she is just showing normal variation, or is she dinker worthy? She is much higher contrast than my male in the third picture and has the double side-stripes considered to be a marker for Het Pied. But I would be surprised if a regular school snake would turn out to be something interesting.

Looks like a very pretty normal.

Ball pythons are normal until proven otherwise.

Good luck with her!

dinker... I would see what her babies look like...there are a lot of things that can make a bp look diffrent from others and still be normal (incubation can very color and patterns making odd balls not morphs)
my dinker is due to lay on the 5th I bought her from petco years ago this is her first year breeding her but she is a normal unless she has off spring that look like her...just my 2 cents here is a pic she is on the far left.

I know a lot of "heavy hitters" just dump anything less than 66% het as normals! She's worth breeding to a pied or het pied for kicks! Ya never know!

We'll be getting a 100% het pied pastel male at the end of this month, so I might keep her around for that. Thanks for the input everyone!
