The distinguishing feature of this morph is a pure white spot that originates on the belly and creeps up towards the dorsal part of the snake. The pattern around the white scales is often distorted, creeps towards the back and sometimes forms a complete band or ring around the body.

In fact, in exceptional examples of ringer ball pythons, not only does the band of distortion form a complete ring but the white scales also encircle the body. A ringer’s white spot is almost always found near the animal’s vent, but there have been a few specimens found with the white spot located elsewhere. The genetic basis for this mutation can not be confirmed with the few breedings that have taken place.

I really don’t think this morph will prove to be genetic. I have collected several nice ringers and have hatched a few too. It appears to me that this mutation is just a random one. Future breedings will yield the answer.
A ringer is a neat pattern variation that makes collecting ball pythons interesting.
