Look similar?

Let me know what you think!
 
I'd like to add he has loads of yellow blushing and white inside the alien heads that the camera failed to pick up.
 
Do you have paperwork providing that this is a het? W/o paperwork it would be very difficult to tell, although some claim to have that special touch, I am skeptical. Unless there is paperwork I wouldnt hold my breath.
 
no it was sold as a normal, but I have had 3 breeders look at it and say it could be.

The man selling it, was not up on reptiles, he bought the female and then it had babies lol, perhaps the person selling it thought it had not locked with a male..who knows. It defo wasn't sold as pregnant though.

It probably isn't, but I just wondered as have had 3 good (mates) who are breeders saying it might be would have to buy another het to know haha.

Markings/colour are very similar, so I dunno. Not being negative or positive about it though, wouldn't wanna be dissapointed.
 
its possible, i dont know much about snakes but you can see the yellow in the pic you provided, the camera probably washed alota the color out of the snake.

is there anyway it could be a low grade het? not sure if this is possible, like i said dont know alot about snakes.
 
Will try to get a better whole body pik soon, the only one i have is this:

he has 8's, donuts, alien heads, lots of yellow blushing

he could just be a great looking normal who knows. but will defo get some better pics for you all to see soon. :)

yeah this was taken on a crappy camera phone!!!
need to get myself a digital camera
 
I wouldn't get my hopes up on its being a het leucistic, just judging by how much a leucistic ball python costs and how rare of a snake it is. A breeding between a leucistic male and normal female (or vice versa) would not go unnoticed and the offspring would cost significantly more than your regular old normal ball python.
 
i know that. but it wouldnt if it HAD happened to go unoticed LOL

Anyway, like said, not getting my hopes up but does seem to show markers.
 
Without PROOF from a RELIABLE breeder there is NO way to tell if its het.

Nice looking normal though.

Also I wonder how the guy that knew nothing about snakes was able to incubate the eggs???
