It seems to have less black than usual, but eh. People can make up anything and call it a morph, sometimes. I'm sure someone somewhere has a name for this. :) Personally, I'd say it's 'just' a normal.

It looks almost like a reduced pattern Royal, but the pattern isn't clean enough.
If you line/selective breed it and its offspring you may get some clean reduced patterns.

Nice looking Royal though :)

Nice ball, but it's probably not anything spectacular.

It's got a nice pattern, but if it's not genetically reproducable, it's really not a "morph".

Well, since you are a relative nobody in the BP hobby, it is just a normal, but if one of the big time breeders had it it might be something fancy with an equally fancy name and even more fancy price tag.

Seriously though, it doesn't look like your typical ball python though I wouldn't go so far as to label it a morph. The main picture doesn't look like much special but the inset looks very odd. I like it.

Of course I am a bit jaded because I for one think all this "morph" crap has really taken the fun out of the hobby for many species of reptiles.

Is it a male or a female?

Is it for sale?

I forgot to add...

... the "relative nobody" comment was not meant as an insult. If you are into reptiles and morphs and know who all the "players" are you will understand what I meant.

is it yours, or do you want to purchase it and it was offered to you as morph?
