Nice looking color, good and plump. Is he missing an eye though? Maybe it just looks that way.

Snakes that are born without eyes are actually very common. I have a friend that breeds bloods and every year he has at least 2 bloods born without eyes..very weird...something to do with incubation...

honestly, that's how i bought my bp. after proper sexing, it is a girl, she does have a missing eye, and her colorization has stired up some questions. she does seem to show ressemblance to an sk axan that i have seen posted. i've been told that axanthics often do tend to grow in some brown tints as they mature. my girl i'd say is about 3 1/2ft long and she is weighing in at 2.62 pounds (not too sure on the gram part). but for the most part i do believe she is a normal until proven guilty. what do you guys think?

Thats a hell of a normal you got there. Real nice, and even more amazing, it was from a pet shop! Awsome, you lucked out.
