First Ball Python

[whereaminow?]

Everyone here has seen my panther cham, so now I'm posting something a bit different.
Here he is!!!
He's super shy, so please excuse the terrible photos. This is the first time I've had him out in the week and a half I've had him. Next time I promise the pics will be better.

He's a bit more friendly in his cage.

And here's the breeder's picture.

wow he is absolutely gorgeous, iv never seen one with those markings before!! just make sure to handle him regularly and he will tame down in no time, my ball was so awesome she didnt even mind being held after she ate, and would just chill curled around my arm while i watch tv, she had the best snake personality ever

Ball pythons are awesome pets, ive had mine for so long and shes great. she'll stay around my neck (without strangleing me) while i take my dog for a walk. but i can honestly say yours is more beautiful then mine with those white markings! how big is he?

lol yeah mine would do that too, though sometimes she would start to get a little tight but all i had to do was re-loosen her and then she would stay that way, almost like she understood not to squeeze. they really are the best little snakes

yeah and they dont get too big, mines pretty much maxed out and shes 5 feet long

yeah mine was a little over 3ft and 3yrs old when i had to get rid of her, had had her since she was a few weeks old and could ball up in the palm of my hand and still have space, saddest thing i had to do, but my all-girls boarding school i was leaving to wouldn't have been to happy with me having a snake in my room

That's terrible! I couldn't imagine having to give away my animals.

yeah it was hard, had to give her to a pet store to sell on consignment, gave her tank and everything and visited her every time i came home and handled her, until they finally sold her, it kind of upset me though because she had this nice big cage and log hide and stuff that was supposed to go with her and then they ended up using it to house like 4-5 other balls with her and sold her with out it (though i guess they probably couldnt tell which one was her after they added the other balls but they shouldnt have housed the other balls with her in the first place, but oh well i could always identify her though she had very distinctive striping pattern going down her neck, everytime i see ball for sale on craigslist i always look to see if its her )

enough about my sad story though lol your little guy looks awesome and will be totally tame in no time!!! and where is thread with pics of your cham id really like to see those especially if that is his tail in your avatar
