Really love this girl...

Picked this girl up from Ben Seigel's place a couple years ago... she hasn't grown much since we got her but she sure is pretty and she does eat!

Either way I figured I'd share some semi-recent pics of her...

Thanks for looking...

Looks similar to the Gold blush female that Brian Gundy posts pics of. (The mother to his gold blush mojos)

Brian Gundy has some nice stuff... but she is not a mojo...

We hand picked her out of several hundred if not a thousand or so C.H. animals a couple years ago... really can't wait to breed her!

wish she grew a little faster but we enjoy looking at her regardless LOL!

I know she's not a mojo. The mother to his gold blush mojo line was a "normal."

There's a video of her.

I don't really see the resemblance of the two... but that's still a really nice female!

Thanks for sharing the link!

she's a really nice girl, lots of nice blushing...no clue if she's anything other than a very pretty normal...but then again, I suck at identifying the subtle morphs. I am proud I can recognize a mojove

Yellow bellies, fires, deserts, mocha's and many others..elude me still. I have a feeling these morphs would stand out if I saw them side by side with normals, or in person...

Thanks for the kind words...They are very much appreciated!

Ya some of the more subtle animals dont' stand out so much as some of the more extreme looking base morphs but definitely when put side by side to a normal for comparison they stand out on their own quite a bit...

Yeah, after looking at the pics more, neither do I. I think I just associated the blushing.
Either way, nice snake.

Thanks Brian!

And HUGE CONGRATS to you for producing that BEL! That thing is smoking hot man!

Have you ever had a fecal done on her to check and see how bad her parasite load is? Maybe a little panacure or flagil will get her growth rate up? She is amazing! Count me in for a sibling if that comes out genetic at all.

I had a fecal exam done on her when we first got her right from the start just to be on the safe side and she came up negative for any kind of parasites or anything...

She's as healthy as any snake in our collection... but she just happens to be a slow growing animal and like most ball pythons she's had her moments where she's fed very aggressively and she's had her moments where she refused to eat a time or two as well...

Eating wise she's what I would consider a normal ball python LOL...

I'm not sure if she has anything genetic behind her or not but I've had a few people make comments as to what they thought she was...

Only time (and breeding) will actually tell but I just love how she looks overall with all of those flames and that contrast of hers... As I stated in the original post the pics I posted are somewhat old and I could have posted some more recent pics but she's been eating really good lately and I don't want to jinx myself or anything! LOL!

She should be ready to breed this upcoming season and I'm looking forward to pairing her up with my pastel yellowbelly whom is pictured below to see what happens! Worst case scenario I get some nice selectively bred pastel yb's which would be fine by me!!
