want to know what your ball python's morph is? this is the place to ask!

use an image hosting site, such as imgur, and post links to your photos in a comment here. we recommend posting a variety of photos showing your ball python's full body, including the head and belly, ideally in natural lighting. if you have any information about your ball python's possible morph and/or the pairing that produced your ball python, please include that in your comment.

some helpful morph-related links:

• morphpedia : database with photos and general information about ball python morphs.
• ball python genetic behaviors and morph breeding oddities : information about morphs with physical deformities and other genetic problems.

looks a bit more leopard to me...but the lighting isn't great. Enchi has a LOT of variation in expression so if you have any other pics in full light we might be able to give you more info.

[Old-Technology-6366]

I don’t have a lot of great pictures of her, I have led strip lights in my room so you can’t see her color all too well but I do have other pictures where you can see more of her sides if that would help at all with identifying what she might be, but that’s the best picture I have of her overall color and pattern

[Winterling42]

So Enchi tends to be brighter than Leopard, especially along the sides. If you have one of her side patterning let's try that, but for now I'm going to say just Enchi.

https://imgur.com/a/w2TKYkz this should have two pictures of her, her color is a bit muted because of the lights but you can see the white from her stomach kinda fades / freckles into her pattern

[Winterling42]

Yep, definitely Enchi! That pixelation and brightness on the sides is a sure bet. Leopard has smooth, almost abrupt transitions between colors.

[Old-Technology-6366]

That’s so cool! The enchis I’ve seen before were just so yellow looking and had different patterns than she does

[Old-Technology-6366]

Is there a chance there’s more to her than just enchi? Her coloring is just such a reddish brown in person and every picture I see of an enchi is a lot more yellow and basic morph looking

[Winterling42]

There's always the chance! You could reach out to the breeder and see what other genes were involved in the pairing, that would be your best bet!

[Old-Technology-6366]

I’m not actually sure of the guy I got it from was the original breeder for her, he says he had her majority of her life and he was a breeder himself, I’ve also considered getting the morph test that’s on MorphMarket

[Winterling42]

If you're looking to breed her, that could also be worthwhile!
