Well this wasn't one I heard before! I brought in three hatchlings that were born June-July of this year to an area pet shop. Even though I e-mailed the records that clearly listed the weights, the owner told me that my hatchlings are too big. He took the smaller two, but he said he likes to get them in small because people like small babies. My hatchlings were 120, 105, and 198 grams! I don't sell babies until they are 100 grams just to ensure that they are healthy and settled. He had two CH babies there that were smaller than mine were when they hatched probably just pushing 60 grams. Oh well!





I guess most petstores aren't used to dealing with healthy ball pythons!



Just felt like sharing!
