Just got two ball pythons from a kid for free! He origionaly got them at Petco. One is very high yellow with classic jungle patterns, but pics can do him no justice, and the other is this cool little ball python. I poped them and they both appear to be female. Still need to probe to make sure. They both need a few good meals.
I have 34 ball pythons now, and this one is very unique from the rest. I have a few with pure white bellies like her, but the black latteral lines that go down both sides and her side pattern are like no other I have seen. Let me know what you think. I feel something is definitely going on with her genetics........... Only time will tell.

Free is my favorite price!
Should go in well with your fine collection.
I look forward to checking her out in person.

I was hoping to get a lesser platty ( I like these more and more!) this week, but she will do. The price was right, and they are in better hands.
This guy really had no clue what he was doing. They were being kept on sand.
The yellow jungle has a white spot on it's eye, and it is smaller then the other. After doing some experiments, I think he is blind in that eye, but might be able to see some light in it.
He also had had some pieces of un-shed skin pasted to it's body that the kid said was there for a long time. A little neosporin and an increase in humidity, and it slid right off. They both look great, and I hope they eat as well as he said they do, when he felt like feeding them.

What does the back and sides look like on that one (not that I would really know what to look for)? Great find!

Here a male with same belly

His belly stripes are not as wide, black and complete as mine, and yours has a lot more white on his sides. I love the variation you can find in ball pythons. Thanks for the pic!
