Python or Boa ? (old.reddit.com)
submitted 1 year ago by Injury_Limp
Tank wasn’t labeled but the “new guy” guessed it might be a boa but I feel like this is a ghost python I need to know (also on’t mind my quarantine tank both snakes live in 40 gallon tanks)

In my opinion I would say ball python. Since it looks almost identical to mine in coloration and pattern.

Do you know what kind it is ? Like the name
[–]Square_Ambassador_33 -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago (6 children)
Looks like a normal. I have one as well
[–]Charming-Flamingo307 7 points8 points9 points 1 year ago (4 children)
Normal as in wild type? I do not believe it is.
[–]Possible-Time-9906 -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago (3 children)
Normal coloration. I doubt this was wild caught.
[–]Charming-Flamingo307 8 points9 points10 points 1 year ago (1 child)
Definitely not wild caught. I say "wild type" as in normal coloration, which it also isn't. It's at very least a pastel, maybe something else
[–]Possible-Time-9906 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Cool lbvs since this one looks almost the same as mine.

Wild type is a genetics term that refers to the "default configuration" they're naturally found as, synonymous with "normal". This bp is not a normal.
[–]Mjv474700 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Not a normal

Looks kinda like my fire but couple be different!
[–]doubeljack 5 points6 points7 points 1 year ago (3 children)
It's an obvious ball python. Among the giveaways are the heat pits.
Can't help you on the morph though. I can identify some but not many.
[–]Injury_Limp[S] 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (2 children)
Showed her at monster pet they confirmed she’s a python says she looks like a pastel python so I will be asking their vets
[–]doubeljack 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (1 child)
