Bases on your description, those would be "ringers"...

Go to the top of the page where all the links are click on the link that says "Photo Gallery" follow the directions, up load photos.

To post go to the bottom of your posting page where it says "Select Image from Photo Gallery"

Babies tend to have very bright colors that usually fade as they get older could be something, could be nothing. Post a picture and we'll see.

well i tried but they won't load,do you think this is a morph or a variation of color

The last time I checked, they were worth $25,000 each.

Post the pics, and the "experts" on here will tell you.

Could be something - could be nothing - without the photo can't tell - you may just need to resize it to load it, shouldn't be too hard.

It's the Reddish Orange Tail morph.

In my "expert" opinion, it's just a nice ball python with a reddish orange tail. I'm going to remember the name and start selling them next to my Oreo balls. Thanks.LOL

Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

Keep it and breed it, you never know, it might be another snake in the ever growing list that produces a white snake.

1) I have never NOT seen a hatchling with that colour of tail end unless it was a morph. Every hatchling I've hatched since 1995 that wasn't a morph looked like that.

2) The bottom one looks hella skinny. Possibly dehydrated as well.
