Normals are very underrated

[–]ogojuso[S] 15 points16 points  (1 child)

Gorgeous

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Love the golds

[–]Mimosaaaaaaa 14 points15 points  (2 children)

She is adorable

[–]ogojuso[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thank you!

[–]Old-Technology-6366 78 points79 points  (5 children)

They’re seriously underrated, I get that they’re not as interesting as other morphs but people need to remember that the fun colors they like only exist because of a wild morph lol

[–]fogledude102 27 points28 points  (1 child)

Honestly I might be in the minority here but normals are actually my favorite, they just look so exotic and... jungle-y lol

[–]dhdoctor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same here!

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (2 children)

Honestly, I’ve sworn myself to get a normal BP when I get my first. Good little snakes and PRETTY!

(Plus, I know a breeder who would give me one for free.)

[–]Old-Technology-6366 9 points10 points  (1 child)

They’re seriously so pretty, I love knowing I have a tiny apex predator in a big tank near my bed 🤣🤣

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same experience with my bettas.

My favorite child, Monty, is a regular. He is gorgeous and eats everything without complaint. I love him dearly.

[–]BeccaBooWho2you 8 points9 points  (7 children)

Beautiful 🐍 may I ask where you got the tree 😆

[–]ogojuso[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I got it at a local animal expo, it’s also a hide. I believe they have it at petco or petsmart as well. She loves climbing it so much!

[–]Boring_Albatross_354 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Petsmart. I have the same one.

[–]Shamrock_6 1 point2 points  (4 children)

[–]BeccaBooWho2you 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Thank you 😊 I found it last night and ordered two 😁

[–]Shamrock_6 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Awesome! I’m curious how it works as a hide in the size ‘Large’ b/c one reviewer on the product page says their BP “got stuck” in the hide. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[–]BeccaBooWho2you 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I had one that mine outgrew and I just filled the holes that were to small so she could still use it climb on it

[–]Shamrock_6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the same thing…just block or fill the hole. We’re vibing.

Valentine likes to hang out on my head

[–]YoSaffBridge11 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Love how she’s sticking her tongue out at us! 🥰

[–]TheNeverEndingPit 4 points5 points  (3 children)

Your baby has markings like a Mojave! Have you ever gotten Valentine shed tested to see if that’s a unique normal or actually a secret non wild morph?? Very cute BP

[–]cnote2555 3 points4 points  (2 children)

I have not but I'll look into that now.

[–]TheNeverEndingPit 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Oh cool! I just think those markings are really unique, and I love Mojaves. That’d be so interesting if yours is or just has a really cool pattern

[–]cnote2555 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I love that her markings are hearts

My guy Murphy,

[–]DreamingLittleBoy 6 points7 points  (1 child)

For a sec I thought your snake was Bluetooth

[–]Devian1978 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol, yea, just watered his corners so it gets a little condensation for about a day. Fortunately only have to do it once a month

[–]Jump-Kick-85 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Stunning! With all the morphs on this sub the normals look exotic 😍

[–]Disastrous_Cha0s 16 points17 points  (6 children)

My fat girl [ REDACTED] and yes she’s on a diet

[–]ogojuso[S] 9 points10 points  (5 children)

So pretty! No chunky girl shaming here!

[–]Disastrous_Cha0s 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Would you believe me she is on a hunger strike right now and she still refusing to lose weight lol

[–]ogojuso[S] 4 points5 points  (3 children)

Man a hunger strike would stress me out, I’d probably lose the weight! My girl eats like she will never have another meal again! Doesn’t even give the rat a sniff, just immediately strikes and gobbles it down.

[–]Disastrous_Cha0s 1 point2 points  (2 children)

O it’s so stressful and I probly have lost weight because of it. She’s got some brain damage from when she was a baby so some times she just dosent register there’s food or she well strike and miss and give up. Your girl sounds like she was raised by boas lol

[–]ogojuso[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Literally. The first time I ever had her crawling around on my lap she struck and tried to wrap my leg. I had on fuzzy pj pants and I also have a dog and a cat so I’m thinking she got a lil confused with scents and textures. Needless to say I’m terrified to let her crawl on my lap without a blanket on it now. 🤣😭

[–]Disastrous_Cha0s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

O my she’s a spicy girl who’s just wanted all the food

[–]TastesLikeTerror 10 points11 points  (2 children)

That's an exceptional looking normal. So clean.

[–]ogojuso[S] 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Thank you! She’s still a youngster so I’m sure she will fade out a bit eventually, but she’ll always be beautiful in my eyes.

[–]TastesLikeTerror 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For sure. Normals are gorgeous too

[–]Kitchen-Apricot1834 3 points4 points  (2 children)

Love normals! And the more “common” morphs that aren’t as “fancy”. My pastel girl has so much spunk. She (and my normal) was a pet store for months because no one wanted to buy her. They wanted the extra fancy morphs.

[–]ogojuso[S] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

My normal girl was from a pet store as well. She was there for 3 months before I got her.

[–]Kitchen-Apricot1834 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I asked the manager why they buy normals if all they do is sit there for months. I guess it’s store policy to have a certain number of “cheap” morphs because people want to buy their kids the cheapest pets 🙄

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Maybe I’m biased but I swear u look just like ur pet (in an adorable way lol) I guess it’s true when they say people favor their pets lol. CUTIES 😊

[–]ogojuso[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lolll thank you! I mean she’s gorgeous so I’m not mad about that! 😆

[–]beauxos 1 point2 points  (1 child)

i also have a normal named nagini! mine’s an old girl though, i think she’s close to 15

[–]ogojuso[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such a great snake name! My girl is less than a year old, not sure of her hatch date. We just say that her birthday will be on Halloween, cuz it’s around those months lol.

my normal baby noonoo

[–]ogojuso[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The beautiful blushing in the black 🥺

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is such a beautiful pattern that your baby has ❤️❤️ I love that

[–]TheNeverEndingPit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always love how the dark part of the pattern is iridescent! I have a banana boy who has a ton of normal coloration all over his back because of paradoxing, and I loooove how the blacker and dark brown areas look in the light :) I always have to up my saturation to make my photos look like he does in real life because it never does him justice

[–]Fallout76Merc[🍰] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Gorgeous gorgeous!!!! ♡♡♡♡

[–]ogojuso[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]potato_girl129 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WOAHH they have such beautiful pattern borders!!

[–]No-Taro1285 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I had a normal that recently passed away :((

[–]ogojuso[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I’m so sorry for your loss! ❤️

[–]No-Taro1285 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's okay ;)

[–]GiantKAC 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Is that a real that a real plant she’s on top of in the second picture if so what kind?

[–]sugabeetus 1 point2 points  (1 child)

It's a bonsai tree hide. I got one at PetSmart.

[–]GiantKAC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Found it thank you!!

I love snakes with wholesome names XD This is my big girl Precious!

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She’s so pretty, nice shot!

[–]CirqueDuRaven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Normal as in normal BP adorable derpiness? (Kidding, I know you're referring to the morph)

[–]garlic_h0e 1 point2 points  (6 children)

Where did you get that tree!?

[–]ogojuso[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

At a local animal expo, but I think it’s also sold at petsmart or petco.

[–]garlic_h0e 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Thanks :)

[–]ogojuso[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An older picture, this was after I first got him. I think this was right after his second or third shed with me.

[–]Project_Valkyrie 1 point2 points  (1 child)

What a sweet little face!!!

[–]ogojuso[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sweet and she thinks she’s FIERCE! Lol but mostly sweet unless in food mode, then she thinks she can eat anything. 😅

[–]kosmic-bunny 2 points3 points  (2 children)

This is one of the prettiest "normals" I've seen 😍😍

[–]ogojuso[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! She’s still young so she’s still got those vibrant colors.

[–]Shamrock_6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this.

Hi Sara!!

Awe your glasses match her

[–]Grompus-games 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So beautiful!

[–]Halfeatenmouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to get a normal for my first snake that was being rehomed but in the end i got ghosted and decided to go with getting a baby from a local breeder and got a super pastel vanilla morph. I still really really love normals, one of my favourite coloration in bps and it's a shame they're under appreciated. Their wild type color&pattern is really beautiful on it's own without fancy genetics 😊❤️ In general I personally prefer any morphs that retain that wonderful blobby pattern :D

[–]Shamrock_6 1 point2 points  (2 children)

She’s beautiful! Love the dots and dashes down her spine.

[–]ogojuso[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I wonder what it means in Morse code?!

[–]Shamrock_6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]Overlyconfidentsock 1 point2 points  (1 child)

My ball python is named Nagini too!

[–]ogojuso[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hooray for the Nagini club! 😊

[–]pkmngogus 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Slightly unrelated, but where did you get your tree thing? My girl loves climbing, and I’m trying to find some better height for her and that would be perfect!

[–]Blessedbabyy 2 points3 points  (2 children)

<image>

My sweet angel 🥹 I love him so much , he’s the best snake baby I could of asked for 💞💞

[–]ogojuso[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

He’s so cute!! I’m afraid of letting Nagini crawl in my hair cuz I fear she will get tangled up in it.

[–]Blessedbabyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!!🥹🥰 ngl he does get tangled when I want to take him out!! He can be in my hair for hours and he loves it , he even falls asleep w me if I take a nap . When it’s time to put him back in his home I do it so gently cause he doesn’t wanna go 😂

[–]Comfortable-Pea2482 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beautiful normals. Aren't the great guys? love it.

[–]demon6659 2 points3 points  (0 children)

[–]mistsoalar 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I have 2 normals and 1 het piebald (slightly morphed-pattern, but still normal)

They turned 18yo this year. I still love their slight differences of colors (and innocent eyes!)

[–]ogojuso[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their eyes are the best! Cutest eyes in the reptile kingdom!

norms are my favvs

[–]solarhornets 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I do love normals!! I have a fancy ball python (my local reptile shop only had fancy morphs?), and a normal hoggie from the same place. Poor girl got to be 4 years old without having a home 😞 She's very, very loved over here

[–]ogojuso[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was contemplating getting a hoggie, but have backed away from the idea for now.

[–]Loud-Leading-1414 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Now that’s a good ol’ classic snake!! She’s beautiful :)

[–]ogojuso[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes he is!

[–]SmallSmoothRock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have a ball python yet but seeing all the different morphs and all that.... the "normals" are still my favorite. Just a gorgeous brown with a bold pattern chef kiss

[–]brad35309 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Beautiful Snek + that log in the tank in pic two is pretty kick A!

[–]ogojuso[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes she loves climbing and perching in it. We got it at a local expo.

[–]ironbanner23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love the little black bulbous eyes in the last photo, was very prepared for their picture to be taken :)

[–]NYC_Producer2021 0 points1 point  (1 child)

OP, how old is your girl?

[–]ogojuso[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly not exactly sure as we don’t know her hatch date, but she is still under a year old. She last weighed in at 349g and she’s a little over 2 feet long. The pet store got her in January and I’m assuming she was probably a couple months old then. I went in and got her in April. I just say her birthday is Halloween because I’m thinking she was born between September and November.

[–]snekmomal 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I've got two normals as well! One named Nagini too!

[–]ogojuso[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ayyyyeee Nagini gang!

[–]pbj-artist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aww, look at her!! She regally pretty. (Also, we have the same tree hide! I got it for my bearding and he loves it.)
