My first ball.

nhballpython Oct 23, 2003 11:04 PM

Well this is my first ball. I mainly have borneo short tails. But I started falling for these while reading all the post in this forum. So after careful looking I found this lovely gem. Lots of color compared to any other normal i have seen. Now I am not going to sit here like a few posters i have read and say its a morph. I am not that much of a fool. its just a colorful norm. But what a beauty.The pic sucks I hope to take better ones with a better cam. And Spike is about to go into shed so the color is not as good as it usualy is.
I hope you enjoy

Great looking little ball you have there, how old is it?

Congratulations! I remember when I first got Rachel! How exciting! Ball Pythons are THE best snake to have! I have had Rachel two years, and now have three more! :0) They are like Lays, you can't have just one! :0)
Keep us posted on how Spike does!

Hey guys thanks for the replys. and yes balls are like sex. Because I already feel like getting some hets for pied or albino. I was going to get a marbled borneo for my female borneo but I am really falling for these balls.
And to answer the question on how old she is. Well I dont really have a clue. All I can say is that I have had spike a month and he or she is about 24 inches long and is growing pretty good. Very friendly snake but pretty head shy. And spike loves to eat. if i dont feed him every 4 days he just wanders around his tank endlessly searching for food and keeps trying to climb his tank to get out.
Once the new cam comes i will post some better pics especialy after spike sheds
later guys
