Post your Ball Pythons!! (any morphs/tips as well :))

[Calift]

Not everyone here is into ball pythons, and although they are much more mellow than a corn, they are still lovely snakes none the less. Here are some new pictures of my two girls.

Please feel free to post your ball pythons and any advice you have for future handlers.


First up is Paddy the '08

Next is my (newish) rescue, Dorothy. She's been doing wonderful for me and has a great temperament. Her past owners only ever fed her live for 5-years, but I've had no trouble converting her over (BUT I have to be sure the room is quiet, not too bright, and the food is very hot). She's still a bit shy and going in to shed soon (note the pinkish tone), but overall a very good snake.

I'm hoping this thread can help inform some people about Balls. For a relatively common species, a lot of the public doesn't know much about properly caring for them....and they won't get a chance to see their potential.

Okay fine... I guess I'll show off ! Here's my male Ball Python. I've had him since he was just a little baby, and he is such a sweet snake.

By the way, great thread. I love everyone's Ball Pythons, and I don't say that just to be diplomatic, EVERYBODY has amazing looking Ball Pythons. Ball Pythons are one of the few snakes where morphs hardly matter, because the "normals" are so incredible.

First, Hobbs... She's a female normal, and is about 10 years old. I need to get some update pics, really... These are from shortly after we got her in June, and she's shed since.

Now Ed... Gender unknown, normal, 4-5 years old. These pics are from earlier this month. =)

nice looking albino. they have grown on me a lot. there is something about the white to yellow contrast

 

[Suzy]

Well, I don't have my BP yet. However, she'll be here in October. I actually won her as a contest prize on another forum. I was shocked! So here's the one picture I have of her from when she crawled out of the egg.

You're the one that guessed the morph of the hatchling? That is awesome. I'm so jealous! She is beautiful!

Yeah, I was. I was off by .9 G. LOL - I was so shocked. Thanks, by the way.
I'm still trying to think of a name for her. The only thing I could think of was Drippy, but that's not so feminine. (It's an Aqua Teen Hunger Force reference, too.)

Lovely BPs everyone, I love the spiders and Tara's albino Anne.

Here are my two, I need to take update pictures but one of them is shedding an the other is digesting, can't win lol.

I just got this one about a week ago, he has a bad scar along his side and back.

This is my Ringer, he was import here by Ralph Davis in 1991. I love this guy and I've been trying to find him a nice girlfriend but I'm too picky lol.

 

[MinLynn]

Ringer looks nearly identical to my girl Sadie! Seriously!

Aw! Is that burn scarring or feeding scarring? I love how dark he is!

I love Sadie she is very pretty and I do see the resemblance in their pattern and color minus his white patch of course lol.

The other one I was told was burnt by a light right have hatching. It is all healed up now but it must have been really bad when it happened.

I'm glad to see Sully is doing well with you, poor little guy he is so lucky.
