Hello. Interesting hides indeed lol I'm curious as to how she will like the jar one. Age is rough and I'm lacking in experience so I wont even attempt. As far as what morph, unless told otherwise or purchased as a subtle morph from a breeder I would assume she is a normal. She does have really nice blushing and a light colored head which are good traits for breeding projects. My most friendly snake kind of looks like her, instead of the bone though his interesting marking is a snow flake on his head lol. She will be the only one who can judge your hides. If she doesn't use one then replace it with something else. Dog bowls, old boxes and creative things work great for me. Feeding once a week is more then enough. Some people only feed their pet ball pythons once every 2 weeks. The once a week method is generally for breeders but works great for an active Ball python. She looks healthy and I'm sure you'll make sure she eats good

I cut out the bottom of it at the back. Also - I put her bedding inside of it to make it keep some humidity and more comfortable for her. I have that huge piece of wood standing up so she can climb inside if she feels like being sneaky, or cause as night she likes to climb around zooming I noticed since after her shed.The right side I had her old dish and I use it was a 'ladder' to connect it to the water bowl so again - if she is on top of the hide can safely and calmy hop in the bath =P
I bet she is all like OMG I CAN SEE WOW I HAVE A COOL HOUSE! =P
But I sectioned that part out (it's the cool side stays at 77-82) hot side right at 90. I have pretty badass temps where I live so it's easy for the pythons and man is it humid
Well, they stated it was bred and from a fireball. The only pictures I see are ones that are adults that are like vanilla light.. I read that the younger ones like what I have get lighter everytime they shed. So, that is why I was so curious. She has such an awsome attitude I feel really lucky to have adopted her. Quite addicting python breed indeed. She loves being handled and is just a straight up chiller when I am gaming.

Age would be really hard to guess. I would feed the appropriate size rodent once per week, and no more. You stated you wanted a "fatty girl" NO you don't it will shorten their lifespan, just as it does to humans!! She looks normal to me. You need to enjoy her for what she is. A shy snake that will be in her hide almost 100% of the time, and not your gaming, or guitar playing buddy!!!

Haha, it's all good. You make it sound like she'll never be the cage. Just chill holmes~ She is all good in the cage. I took her out for pictures and I didn't mean fatty as in obese. I mean fatty as in healthy as f^^^~

She looks like a normal to me (but i don't know much about morphs, so thats just what it looks like. Idk if there are subtle hints that show a type of morph or not in her). When i take my ball python out, he will curl up in my lap and watch the tv.

She is a damn good eater as well. She was crawling around this EARLY morning just smelling everything.. I just had a feeling. Thawed one out for awhile.. She took it like a damn champ. It's cool when you start noticing things like that haha.
I fed her last tuesday.. she is taking it a day earlier than expected.. I am giving her 1 small rat. I might have to up the size.

How much does she weigh? I think one small rat every seven days would be enough.

Sorry for the late reply. Thanks - That is what I thought as well. Today she just seemed extremely active in the cage early.. and she was just giving me this stare and tongue waving everywhere like she was on the hunt. Figured I would try it and she took it immediately. She seems a bit moody today and of course I never will mess with her a couple days after she eats.
As far as weight goes - I am going to get her weighed sometime this week and let you know. I am quite curious too cause I would really like to try to approximately age her.
