I'm a newbie boss in the field of snake raising ., all i know is my snake is a dwarf reticulated python,. i'm from the Philippines ., your answer would be helpful to me and with my family ., thank you and hoping for your positive response

If we could get a picture of the face, it might help. My guess would be Jampea dwarf, but they usually have silver eyes whereas most other retic locales have orange eyes.

Could you get a picture of the face and him stretched out from the top and the side so we can see pattern and coloration better? Try not to overexpose it either. When the picture is washed out like that one is the colors get screwed up.

is this close enough masters ?

**millertime89** · 11-18-12, 11:59 PM

Wow, those eyes are intense! I would agree with Jampea dwarf, but the pattern and coloration are off. Very aberrant pattern, very interesting. Honestly there's no way to tell without the data from the person who collected/hatched him. Congrats on your new friend though!

Motley is large circular patterns on the back.

iBaman · 11-19-12, 12:49 AM

this is a motley. yes, there are spots down the back, but to me it looks more like a squiggly line. which is why i said it KIND OF look motley. (not my pic)

**millertime89** · 11-19-12, 09:54 AM

Albino is screwing up the pattern.
Here's what a normal motley looks like.

Will0W783 · 11-19-12, 10:18 AM

Normal reticulated python patterns can vary a lot, and the patterns vary even more by locality. I've seen a lot of Jampea specimens that had "aberrant" patterns...they tend to be darker, and have more of a braided look to the back pattern. I've also noticed with Jamps that they tend to be less colorful overall....they have a greyish cast to them...however, I've seen a few truly stunning high-contrast ones too.

My guess would be nice normal Jampea dwarf for this one.

the albino is what does that to it?? CRAZY! Good to know, thanks!!!

**millertime89** · 11-19-12, 11:19 AM

yeah, most of the T+ albino strains do some weird things with the pattern. I'm not sure if that's a purple or a Foulsham Caramel (gut says Caramel). Notice the lack of rosettes on the side of the normal motley? They're there on the albino. Bob Clark should be proving if there's a super motley this year, hopefully he hits the odds.

Here's a Jampea Motley Tiger poss dbl het snow, the Motley actually tends to clean up the pattern.

Jampea Motley Tiger poss anery (nobody has seen a Jamp Motley Tiger Anery) poss dbl het snow. Even more of a diffused and cleaned up pattern.

I had something else to say, but it escaped my brain... I'll post if I remember.
