I've got yet another African Rock Python coming shortly, I have him on Hold in the local Petshop lol. He's a feisty male and a possible het patternless Rock Python, the reason I bought him though was because of his some what different skin pattern that I have never seen before in any snake for that matter. It has been suggested that it may change again through shedding and that it could of been caused by a fluctuation in temperatures during incubation??? Whats your view guys, I would be interested if anyone has a similar change in skin wit any of their snakes. If you look at both pictures at the snakes body to the back of the viv you will see that the skin Pattern changes to loops around the body then changes back to normal lol

the Afrock came from a PX deal the shop had with someone, I have been told he is a tad of a nut job lol. my misses has named him NORMAN as in Norman Bates from Physco lol. I may of mention previously I do like a snake with a bit of character and this guy certainly fits the bill hahaha - ALAN

if you look down the back wall of the viv and look along the body it has zigzag loops around the body then it goes back to the normal pattern further along the body to the right hand side of the viv.

Looks like a fairly standard African Rock to me.

Just looks like some random abberance in the pattern to me.

with this one it makes my total of Rocks to 3 so far lol, the others and all of the African Rock Python forums have not seen this pattern apart from one guy that said his rocks pattern changed to normal after a shed lol. I just thought it must of happened before with other snake skin patterns. Never mind I was just curious - ALAN
