Does the Piebald coloration independently influence a Ball Python's longevity?

No, it only affects aesthetics.

The specific visual appearance of a Piebald Ball Python, characterized by reduced or absent pigmentation due to its co-dominant genetic trait, is purely an aesthetic factor and does not carry inherent longevity implications. Genetically, a Piebald remains fundamentally a Ball Python (*Python regius*), meaning its biological potential regarding lifespan is determined by the species' inherent traits, not the color morph. The expectations for how long a Piebald will live are identical to those of a Normal or any other morph, provided the quality of husbandry—the environment, feeding, and care provided—is maintained at a consistently high standard throughout the snake's life.
