Reduced and clean pattern, blushed head, speckles in her light areas (that go from the tip of the tail to her head), clean belly. What IS She? When I got this little girl (captive hatched) she was BRIGHT orange (almost pastel orange). Now she has turned in to this beauty. Unfortunately I don't have any baby pics, but she REALLY looked close to an orange dream. Any ideas on what I have? She'll breed next year for sure, but I'm not sure what to put her with...

You might be a ball python fanatic if you subconsciously convert the price of virtually everything in to units of piebald ball pythons

I would venture a guess that she is a very good looking reduced pattern Normal type. She almost has Enchi marking through her mid section and I think that is what makes her so good looking. Jay

Have soem females here that are ALOT like that. Usually VERY Orange as babies and brown out except for down low where the blushing /flames are as adults.. Some would call it a Blurry Ball others may say just a "clear belly high orange" . Will make killer Pastels for you (try enchi may work well too) if it reacts like a couple I have did over the years that made really nice Pastels (haven't tried Enchi but will be on a couple this next season).

Nice snakes to play around with for sure!
