Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I have 3 Ball Pythons and a Savu python. I got a call today from the local pet store wanting me to go check out a snake that had been left behind at a mans place when someone moved out. I went over to check it out and the poor guy did not know how to take care of it but had been trying for a few months but didn't know when or how often to feed it. In any case the snake had not been fed in a while so i told him i would give me $100 for the whole set up. and left with the snake. At first glance i knew it was a large Ball ( about 5 or 6' long ) but the more i look at it and my other snakes it doesn't seem to have the same markings. Not so much the body but the head is what is making me wonder i have a few pics i am going to post.. the first of which is the snake in question if someone could help. The others are just to show my other babies

Ok that did not work. let me try again with the pic.

Sorry but when you go to the above link you will see my main pic..below it you can click to see all pics.. that is where the snake pics are

looks like you have a ball python and a boa constrictor.

That is a Boa Constrictor

if it were a boa it would have more grey to it. if you havent already, ask the reticulated python forum, or if you disagree with me ask the boa forum.

if it is a retic, you should think about wether you want a 20' 200 pound snake in your home with your chindren
