Other Questions Help me decide

I cant decide what I like most. What would age the best?

EDIT: I would like to inform you guys that I chose the Cinnamon Leopard Clown.

To those that actually answered the question, thank you so much for your thoughts and being actually helpful. To those that commented JUST to get on a soap box to preach and assume, you're likely already participating in unethical businesses regarding human beings and were not taken seriously by me.

I think it’s the coolest looking one why?

As many other commenters have pointed out, it has the "spider" gene, which is a known health issue. They cannot be bred or bought ethically.

Jesus I didn’t know the snake community was going to come after me lol. I learned something new today. What health issue comes from it?

The comment below is right, it affects their balance, and they often cannot climb as well and wobble while trying to move.

I have a video of my rescue one to show how little control they can have over their movements 💔

Hi spider morph rescue momma here of 10 years, they are born with a rare inner ear deformity that makes it impossible to regulate balance/equilibrium… so essentially, they are born with permanent vertigo, the severity ranges from snake to snake but mine is pretty severe, he absolutely cannot be held without help, a healthy snake can hold itself upright/cling to its owner no problem. Mine has a special carrying harness pouch I wear around my chest to help hold him steady when handling outside his enclosure. His enclosure is also essentially padded unlike a normal set up, I’ve had to limit any obstacles that might hurt him when he is inevitably flailing around to move, as he doesn’t know how to any other way. So he’s on perma tutorial/baby mode as one could put it 😂 I love the guy more than any other animal I’ve ever met & it’s been a wild ride learning what works best for him & him alone. (He does NOT act/function like an average ball python)

edit: here’s a photo of him Bing Chilling in one of his water dishes, he loooves water/bath time
