Did anyone notice there are two types of Ringers or am I the only one????
One type with a pattern aberancy like piebalds and one like on the picture with a broken up pattern. Am I right or not?

I have noticed that and think you are actually looking at two different types of balls. The standard "ringer shows a dilution or "bleeding of color or a white ring fully or partially around the body. The other type shows the aberrent pattern (sometimes a distinct parallel strped marking straddling the spine). I beleive the latter is actually a very low white pied. Only time and breeding will tell, yes?

I just bought a CH "reduced pattern" baby female at a show. I really like her and she is eating fine. regardless of whether it is a fluke or if it is genetic...for a $7 ball python...it looks nice.

Reduced pattern ringers? I just bought a two week old who has an awesome reduced pattern,and every other pattern is ringed. he is gorgeous. Not too bad,i only paid $7.50 for him,and will try to prove it out in the future.
