NEW BABIES

APLAXAR Apr 16, 2005 11:25 AM

I WORK AT PET SHOP UP HRE IN VERMONT AND WE GOT SOME NEW BABY BALL PYTHONS IN AND THEY ARE ALL NORMAL COLORATION WITH A REAL NICE YELLOW DORSAL MARKINGS MUCH MUCH BRIGHTER THAN THEIR SIDE COLORATION, DOES THE INDICATE ANYTHING AS FAR A GENETICS GO? OR ARE THEY JUST NICE SPECIMENS

Withouht seeing them it's hard to say BUT!

Since the animals have trickled through so many hands down to the pet store, it's very unlikely that they're anything but nice normals.

YEAH I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY HAVE PROBOBLY BEEN IN MULTIPLE HANDS. ITS CONTRAST IS STRIKING COMPAIRED TO ALL THE OTHER PYTHONS I HAVE SEEN IN MY YEARS, I MIGHT GET ONE JUST TO GROW IT OUT AND SEE WHAT IT IS, ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY THOUGHTS?

Most likely the baby will darken as it sheds a couple of times and become more "normal looking", tho that doesn't mean that it won't still be a nice looking normal.
