My New Ball

[froggyman]

Just got him/her/it Saturday and since I have nothing to do on MLK day I thought I would share some(albeit bad) pics of it.

I really think that it has one of the most beautiful patterns of any standard ball I've seen.

Also you can pretty clearly see that it was fed just 2 days ago

LOL...I was going to say it looked like it had just eaten. It's a beauty! :worship:

That is one of the reasons that i chose it at the petstore(OH NOES!) it looked freshly shed and was isolated due to it being fed less then an hour before i bought it

Good idea...at least you know it eats!!! :clap:

heh... i'm way to immature for a title like that. nice snake tho! i got a really crappy sickly ball python at a horrible pet store (it was a rescue). she is nothing but trouble but i can't help but love her.

Very beautiful ball python!!! Sounds like you relly like her so I am sure she will be well taken care of

Beautiful! Mine has a very similar pattern, lots of uniform brown "saddles" like that. Mine was a rescue and I love her. I plan to get her a mate sometime this year, just need to get her probed to make sure she's really a girl. I think the lady just really wanted to get rid of her so I need to make sure.
Balls are great. Mine has started getting really feisty at feeding time! I'm glad she's eating though, she stopped for 3 months and it really worried me. Now she goes nuts during feeding time and tries to eat my hand. lol! I just ordered some nice long tongs to avoid any mishaps.

You have a beautiful snake but I have never seen a ball python kept on that kind of substrate..its fine on that kind of substrate? I thought most people used bark, news paper, or aspen....Just asking.

Its just eco-earth bedding...its doing fine so far....i will feed it in a separate tank due to fear of impaction...

You read my mind because that was my only worry.

I've always fed my snakes in Rubbermaid containers, except when they are on reptile carpet...

 

[froggyman]

Im keeping it dry with a large water dish..I've read that this is ok...is it?
