    My two Ball Pythons

    I was wondering if anybody could tell me exactly what type of ball python my babies are? The light one really has me curious. I believe they are n the gallery?
    Thanks for any input.

    They look like red tail boas or maybe a retic of some kind? I'm not sure but they have narrower heads, thinner bodies and patterns that I've never seen on a BP. I'm no expert though so hopefully someone else will comment soon and help xD

    Yep, pretty sure this is a Boa... OP where did you get the animal from? These can get quite big.

    Those are absolutely boas. I don't know what sub species, but definitely boas. If the right sub species they can get upwards of 10 feet or more.

    I agree... and I'm just a hobbyist snake keeper with 1 ball... definitely not balls. Some kind of boa would be my guess too. Did someone sell them to you as ball pythons? Are you ready for a 10 foot snake?

    Re: My two Ball Pythons

    O wow. Yes, I got the darker one from a college student that couldn't give him the attention he needed/wanted. He said he got him from Petco.
    I rescued the lighter colored one from a guy who wasn't taking care of it. No lamp,no water. He also said it was a BP. O geez..
