WEEK IN REVIEW

Happy New Year Everyone!!!

Bunch of people changed their names for the new year.

Looks like Reptile Exotics will have the first babies of the season with a clutch due next week! Congrats Eric!

And yet another ball rescued from a teenager that didn’t take care of it properly – sad looking guy – Best of luck with him DeAnne!

Lotsa people with new cameras and new lenses!

Whats wrong with my ball – can you overfeed a ball – my ball hasn’t pooped – my ball hasn’t shed – how big should my ball be – heating – carpet – can you bathe a snake – feeding – breeding – sexing – too fat? - too thin? – too male? - too female?

Incubator questions 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 of them

Are pastels really that much different than normals? And do they shed weird?

I want to import BPs

What does my snake say - a variation of the words found on peoples snakes - can you find the five words in this snake:

This Weeks Official Thread From Hell: What is the point of Ball Pythons?!?!?! 90% in it for the money? Lets see 10,000 breeders? 300,000 people that just have cool snakes – yeah that sounds like 90% to me. (these number are for demonstrative purposes only)

If a ball is producing sperm is he ready to breed – great article by Jay on this – ya’ll should read it.

$150K for a two headed snake – and it’s not even a ball.

Morphs and another market crash …. This coulda turned nasty but wasn’t so bad.

MIA ball no longer MIA

Wyatt got an import WC Pied female – very sweet – some skeptics – lottsa rumors – I just got one question – how come she’s not all dinged up like a normal WC? LOL – just kiddin’ Looking good!!!

"This one may have already been on the WIR (BigHaze)"

WOW!!!!

If it was I must of missed it, the last month has REALLY been rough around here, sorry.

Now for my reply,

WOW I made the WIR!!!!!!!! and for a good thing at that!!

With all the great pics on here every day I can't belive my $25 normal female made the WIR, must of been a slow week.

I have missed a lot the last few weeks, and I must say the WIR does help me catch up, keep up the good work!!!

yeah the door is great till you are listening to loud music (through headphones) and don't realize that your boss doesn't have a key and spent the last 10 minutes banging on it to ask you a question... Oooops!
