About
The Pinstripe Ball Python is a dominant morph that exhibits large changes compared to the Normal Ball Python’s pattern scheme, with both pattern and colouration being altered.
History
The Pinstripe Ball Python was first produced by Brian and Lori Barczyk. The original was first displayed around 1999 at a expo show in Orlando. Only one Pinstripe Ball Python has been found in the wild as of yet, meaning every Pinstripe in the hobby is a descendant of this one animal.
Appearance
Head
The head of a Pinstripe Ball Python is topped with a dark, almost chocolate-like, crown that tends to fade into the neck. Pinstripes usually have a spot of pattern in the centre of the crown and serrated stripes through their eyes.
Body
The body of a Pinstripe Ball Python is usually dominated by a thick contrasting dorsal stripe from neck to tail, with dark-brown/black “pinstripes” down either side. The sides are patterned with “water droplet” shaped lines over a tanned-brown/golden backdrop of side scales.
Belly
The ventral scales of the Pinstripe Ball Python usually carry a golden undertone and can range from completely crisp and clean to almost murky and spotted with dark markings.
Tail
The Tail of the Pinstripe Ball Python normally follows the dorsal stripe pattern with the “water droplets” becoming less frequent and prominent.
