I think its a dom the exact same way a normal is a dom.
Am I missing something?
Nice normal.

This is a proven Dom poss Inc-Dom... very reduced pattern, looks like a cross of Orange dream and Enchi... I don't know what you are missing???

Sorry. Guess I am missing something. I DEFINITELY don't see reduced anything in there. Seriously, I see a normal ball python.
Lets see what others think.

I see that it is missing the usual "alien faces" along the sides, but otherwise pretty normal. Are there colors that are perhaps not showing up on my monitor? To me the coloration looks pretty much normal.

I kinda like it. Somewhat reduced pattern, but I have seen many Balls with more of a reduced pattern. I like the coloring too, and it looks pretty clean.

So, if you are calling it a Dom, that means either one of the parents looks just like it, or a sibling looks like it or both?

Not for nothing but that one looks a lot like this guy except that this one has a mustache and chin spot as well. Maybe I shouldn't have this guy up for sale. LOL.
Has yours been proven?
Any photos of the parents or sibs?

Like it! Looks clean and has creamy colors... it does look like enchixod but less dramatic colors. Have you proved it complete dom yet? Or is inc dom possible still?

Good luck with it!

I'm seeing a nicer normal with a reduced pattern. even normals can pass on "some physical traits" like banding .Whether they really do anything when combined with other morphs or a super form is what makes them actually worth naming. Glad you aren't falling into the trap of "every dinker is normal" that is plaguing the industry now. It doesn't help when "respected" members of the herp community are auctioning of "mystery morphs" that are in reality normal. i'm not an expert but I'm not seeing anythign that would make me want to pay more than the price of a normal

Don't get me wrong here people, It has not been mixed yet with other morphs to prove it's potential. That is coming this year...

I say it is a Proven Dom because I have seen it's Mother (an older version of him) and was told about half the clutch looked simmilar... They were being sold as "normals" but I instantly saw potential... I attempted to by mom as well but the person was not willing to let her go as easy... This thing has nice coloring as a juvie but by the looks of mom it starts to fade out a bit (similar to orange dreams I have seen)...
