Do all normal wild type ball pythons have black eyes?
Curious...... I have what I think are 4 normal wild type ball females..... 3 have black eyes and 1 has green eyes...... The 1 pastel male I have has green eyes as well.
TIA
Beth

Those look like pastel eyes to me. He/she looks pretty big. How old/heavy is she? Could be an adult pastel that has lost some of its color (happens when they get big) but don't take my word for it, I could be wrong. You got any more pics?

Not a pastel. Just like humans, their eye colors can differ, especially if they have genes derived from different regions of ball python colonies in Africa.

Ron's probably right. But looking at how her colors come up from her belly, looks like a pastel fade to me. this is interesting...

Ahh I See, I Have Seen Some Nice Looking Balls Like This Normal With Some Nice Bright Colors!
The Reason I Said It Might Have Been A Pastel Was Because The Color At The Bottom Of The Tail In The Third Pic.
You Know I Learn A Lot Here LOL Thanks Ron!
