Healthy?

GrotesqueBurgess Mar 10, 2007 07:32 PM

I just recently bought two ballpythons from my job (petsmart). I was wondering if they look healthy to people who are more experienced than me.

So, here's pictures. Comments appreciated.

Good looking little guys. What sex are they?

I'm not sure what gender they are. I'm hoping to get them probed soon. Petsmart isn't up-to-date on those sort of things.
Their markings are so different from each other, is that normal for just regular ole' ball pythons?

good to me. However, it is hard to tell in pics. Are they eating? If so then they should be ok. If they have loose, hanging skin or are more triangular than round then that would be a bad sign. Keep an eye on them and if anything bothersome shows up get them to a vet. In the mean time check out some care sheets. NERD has a pretty good one and I think there is a decent on in the articles section of this site.
