I am wondering if anyone has seen ball pythons that look like this one? Before you all say normal notice the two weird spots on the snakes side near the belly. These pattern mess-ups continue onto the other side of the snake. Thanks David

Belli shot of the above snake. thanks David

It's weird. Breed it to a normal and then back to one of its offsping that resemble it, and if none resemble it, than breed it to a normal looking offspring. It doesn't look like anything special, (at least to me) but either do yellowbellies, and we are finding out they are far from normal (genetically).
Good luck, it's different than any of my normals.

If it were mine I'd keep it and breed it out and see what happens. Certainly looks like an interesting project. I can't say that it looks like any particular morph to me but it's certainly interesting enough to work with.

Yea, I am planning on keeping it. Plus it is a male so it will be kinda faster to breed, but if something is ressesive then it will be a while before I find out anything. All I can say is I will be on the lookout to see if anyone just happens to have one at a show. I found him for 20.00 so it is worth that just as a kool looking unusual normal. Thanks for the imput.
What's a hurricane ball again?
