New baby BP - Dannie

[Klogue1]

Seems like a unisex name to me, but kind of hoping it's a female So, here as some pics of my first ball python!

She is 104 grams as of yesterday, but I didn't take a picture. I would remeasure again but she just ate and is being moody when I walk by haha.

I got her from a local family-owned pet store with whom my family is friends with and we know they buy from breeders, but we do not know the birth date or age. She seems to be hatchling or young juvenile though, according to weight. The people there gave us 6 free frozen fuzzy mice; I think these are a teeny bit small for her right now so I've fed her two, and she's already eaten both! I will wait a week to feed again though.







Fuzzy #1


Fuzzy #2


She had some trouble getting it in her mouth with the first strike, from the position she's in, in the picture. So she had to spit it out and retry. It did worry me a bit when she spit it out, so when she had it all out, I waved it around a little more and she struck again.







And finally, the setup!





On the thermometer, basking spot temps are on the top (91*), cool side temps on the bottom left (77*) and humidity is 48%.
I use an exo terra heatwave dessert mat small under a 10 gallon critter cage tank, which covers approx. half the tank, and I have it on a repti-temp thermostat

Sorry guys for all of the pictures, I hope there's no rules about something like that, I couldn't find any... if there are, I will take a lot of them down so as not to take up space or anything

And sorry about the quality. Had to take them with my iPhone asmy camera quit on me
