A newbie's small collection

syndicate559 Apr 22, 2008 12:28 AM

Here are photos of my ball python collection as it stands. It will continue to grow if I have anything to say about it, but it's going well considering the fact that I'm really only a couple of months into this obsession!

Here's Nigel, the 07 male normal that started it all

My next acquisition was Mary Jane, an adult normal who was bred to a Spider for a few weeks before I got her. My fingers are crossed, but I'm not very confident that she'll become gravid this year.

I got Reggie, an 07 male Mojave from Stan Ruppel

Another shot of Reggie

Petunia is an 07 female Graziani Pastel, also from Ruppel

Finally, this is Honey, an 07 female Woma from Taylor Reptiles

It's not much compared to a lot of collections, but I'm having a blast and looking forward to expanding.

Whoops, messed up the code for the picture of Nigel, my first Ball Python. He's just a baby normal, but he'll always be special because he got this whole thing going.

I totally understand. My first snake was a normal male ball python named Adam Absinthe. Just a normal guy (huge now, got him as a hatchling), but he's super special to me. He's my baby boy!

And you have an awesome collection for a beginner. That Woma is exceptional. And Stan Ruppel is an AWESOME guy to deal with He'll be a good guy to know as your collection gets bigger.

Good luck!!

You a great collection, even for an experienced herper! Congrats.

I especially like the looks of your woma. Keep us updated as they grow and if your female lays eggs.
