I am new to Ball

jazzypork Dec 06, 2007 10:54 PM

I've been keeping snakes for 1/2 year but I am a newby to Ball Pythons, I find them very fat and cute, but I have 1 simple question:

"Does all ball pythons shape alike? I mean, do they commonly stay short and fat while they grow even if they are just the most common, natural, brownish morph??

If they do, i think I will get one of them soon.

Thx~

Yup, they are all pretty much the same in physical characteristics....of course how short/long and how fat/skinny depends on how much you feed them and if you get a male or female. But yeah, normals will be just as "short and fat" as the 10k morphs.

A fat little snake is exactly what a ball python should be! I like my chubby little beasties.

The only time a ball python isn't nice and round is when it is too skinny. And color/morph has nothing to do with it!

Enjoy!
