a pretty dull few photos, they have all recently shed so looking nice, but didnt want to pile them all in together as they ate yesterday. Will get a proper group shot later on. The yellow certainly hasnt come out right.



check out how bright those circles are. This animal is from the group, that had some hypo looking siblings that the breeder held back. Do hope there is something more to them. Although the pattern isnt exactly a downfall

Why do they always crap and shed at the same time, well this one managed to smear it all over the cage. But i bet you will never see a ball python, eating while shedding Was doing my feeding so thought would offer

And Sheba, not quite sure what to think of this
she has missed her last two feeds, seems interested but then just doesnt bother eating it. Went into the snake room last night, and she was sitting like this with her mouth open. Gave her a good check, no mucus, no hissing, and she shed last week, so not quite sure what to think, any ideas?

Nice animals you have there Dave! You know I love your blushy-pearly ones! Not sure what to say about the open mouth. If she isn't making any noises and no mucus present, she's probably fine. Unless I am missing something. I saw my Hypo male, Obsidian, take a big 'ol yawn like they do sometimes.... but then didn't close his mouth. Just left it open for a few minutes, then he shut it. Weirdo.

Dave,
...I would not worry about the open mouth. Usually that would be a sign of a problem but that snake just looks to perfectly healthy. When they have respiratory problems there is always a dry look to the skin and eyes and at least some sign of dicharge around the mouth or nostrils. Nice looking collection.
