is this a nice leopard

Getting this girl just looking for some opinions on her quality

 

[snowgyre]

I will admit that I'm not completely familiar with genetic leopards, but I'm just not seeing anything other than a somewhat oddly patterned normal here.

This is fascinating. I just posted a thread with a questionable leopard as well. I don't really see leopard in her either (but clearly I'm no expert!). Who is the breeder?

I saw your thread standard pastel jungle, to be honest I'm not sure how people don't
See leopard in this snake she seems obvious. The spotting is spot on lol and her pattern seems right too

 

[phoenix-cry]

Like I said I don't know much about the Leo

 

[phoenix-cry]

Even on World of Ball python the only Leo that looks like anything special to me is the one on the third page.

The other two just look like funky normals to me. So you can tell what my opinion is worth in this matter. Not even two cents. I freely admit that.

Nope, and Laurens snake she posted is not a pastel.

Your saying this isn't a leopard?

yes i am saying that is not a leopard

That is no doubt a Leopard, I wouldn't say the greatest example but it is a Leopard

Thank you I was going nuts over here . The guy I'm getting her from is really reliable I've gotten a few snakes from him and he has been nothing short of spectacular in all our deals, to hear people telling me he was lying made me upset

 

[Bob O'Brien]

I've hatched a few clutches of Leopards and I have no doubt that it's a Leo

 

[snowgyre]

Bob, is there anything in particular you look for in a leopard? It's a morph that apparently many of us can't reliably identify (myself included).

Ugh, these kinds of morphs are hard for me as well, not gonna lie. Unless I was at a show and was able to compare the parents and other snakes to it, I would have passed if I got that pic from the OP. That is just my opinion, I dont do leopards so I am not too familiar, I just thought leos were lighter than normals. The pics just looks like a banded normal to me, I guess if you really trust the breeder, then I say go for it.

 

[Ballfiend]

Dont know if it helps but here are 2 Leopards sorry pics are cell phone pics.

 

[Bob O'Brien]

Looking at the first pic that is the typical leopard belly, the random spotting with the het pied tracks. Going up the sides you will see very little to no white, and if there is some coming up it is more of a yellow. They have the light spot on the top of there head, and the colors are off. The browns are a little browner on the leopards. Like I said I don't think that it's the best example of one but if you put it next to a normal you would see the difference

 

[Bob O'Brien]

The biggest problem with Leopards are how much the pattern can vary, heres two pics that are both Leopards but look completely different.

 

[amos1974]

100% it is a leopard! Like Bob said not the best patterned one but a leopard for sure...

 

[Rock Star Reptile]

I have 2 more Leo examples. Now mine after growing up a bit seem to have this cool greenish hue to them. It is very subtle. The pic does look like a Leo to me just from the sides & belly. I am no expert for sure.

Leopard for sure! Pick it up. The combos are awesome and there is alot to be done with them. Good luck with the project.
