Picked up this cool ball recently..........

Any ideas? It's definately a little different, I think, maybe, maybe not? There are so many characteristics patternwise how can you tell if something is really different, besides the obvious?

Awesome looking animal Robert! I see yours even has the tan color going up on the back in one spot.

I need to get some better pics of the animals ,that shows the pattern a little better. That photo was taken basically just for a photo of the animal . The pattern on that snake actually crosses the back in 4 or 5 places. I was impressed with the lot I got, 10 females and 3 of them with this pattern not to shabby

I have two with the same blushing on both sides, basically from neck to tail. They are both males and both have a lot of solid white patches as well along the sides. Here is a link to a pic of one of them. This pic is a couple of months old and he is actually more blushed/faded now. I need to get new pics soon.

I got some CH "04" females that came from Ian G. and there are 3-4 of them with the same blushing makes on their sides (pretty much the whole lenght of the snake). I never thought anything of it, but lets hope it's something.

Any belly shots? I think all mine like that have clear or nearly clear bellies (can't check right now, just fed them).

Blushing is definitly high upon my list... I really love the blushing and reduced pattern/less spots. I would LOVE to have that snake as a normal, but if it does turn out to be something ... awesome... either way, good catch. Look at my male, I am sure you have seen pictures of him on here before, but I ALWAYS love looking at him, so maybe you all enjoy him as much as I do! (This is a picture of him with my 100% Het. Albino male right after I got them, I don't have lil guy anymore though)
