Hypo or not??? Pics...

Hi guys, I acquired this adult female a month ago and she finally shed. Her shed is not "clear" but it's pretty faint. Here is a pic of the shed and some pics of her compared to two "normal" balls.

So, what can she be? Normal? Burgundy? Something new? Any morph experts out there, I'd like your opinions.

I am no expert but looks normal to me.

looks like a nice light colored animal. the shed shows very typical markings of a normal ball.

I was once told if you have to ask if you have a morph, then you dont.
Beautiful BP's thanks for sharing

...meaning reduced yellow pigment. A good specimen for working with axanthics perhaps. Animals with reduced yellow are probably as common as animals with high yellow. I wouldn't use this animal to produce pastels. So, this is probably a normal with reduced yellow, IMHO. Scott J. Michaels DVM

I got alot of different shades of normal balls......they even change colors as temps and breeding cycles change........
