My brother has had this python as a pet for about four years now. I never have really looked at it but noticed it has a stripe about 5 inches long right behind it's head and another long stripe on it's tail. There are other short connected patterns along it's body. Is this normal?
Thanks

is this stripe worth holding on to?

Well I can not see the pic, but from the description it sounds like a pretty normal Ball Python. Most Ball Pythons will have a small stripe down by the tail, and a 5 inch stripe on the neck is fairly common too. Now this does not mean it is useless, you can always use another normal, especially a female. Just my two cents,

It could be worth holding on to if it's a female. I don't think it will prove genetic though. Even most fully striped ball pythons don't prove to be genetic, but you never know. Post a pic (I can't see your pic) and we'll see it.
