"There are at least three other examples of ball pythons that technically can be called piebald due to their white scales, but all similarities end there with the "true" piebald. The most common is the Ringer. Ringers have a white area on the belly approximately 1.5" to 3" up from the vent. The rest of the snake is normally patterned. Some specimens will have larger areas of white that will extend up the side of the snake and in some instances will actually form a complete white ring around the body of the snake. Often times the area of white is surrounded by an orange wash. There have been reports of multiple ringed ball pythons and even one that was reported to have a ring around the neck area. The Bullseye ball python is not as common as the ringer. Bullseyes have white patches on the body in random locations on a normally patterned ball python. These patches at first may appear to be scars, but further inspection will reveal that they are not. The white patches can be in any location on the snake and will vary in size and number from ball python to ball python. The last type of piebald ball python involves the progressive loss of pigment as the snake ages. The snake appears normally colored as a hatchling or sub-adult and with each successive shed white scales begin to appear on the snake. Since this is a progressive loss of pigment there could be any number of causes."
