So how long have you had your Ball Pythons?

[EyeLashViper]

Well,
I purchased my very first female Ball Python "Trinity" back in May of 2003 - then I bought my small male "Cypher" in June of that year and my big male "Apok" on New Years Day of 2004 ( my New Years Resolution for this year was to buy more snakes... :roll: :lol: )
and my fourth Ball Python was my other female "Switch" who I got on July 16 of this year.

I have learned a great deal about snakes in the last year and a half...I remember how excited I was bringing home Trinity from the IRBA show when she was no more than a pup....she has put on some real growth since I saw her in her plastic cup on the breeders table. She has been a good 'Un....she is almost four feet long already and is many times the size she was when I first bought her.

I really think Ball Pythons are the ultimate snake for someone like myself - a person living in an apartment that cannot have a snake of the proportions of say a Burm or a Redtail Boa.....Ball Pythons are manageable but still have the mystique of a giant snake I think. I would even try my hand at breeding but I dont think I have the space I would need to have a breeding operation going on. Plus, I have to keep things on the down low if you know what I mean...I doubt my manager would approve of my snake hobby anyhow.. :wink: :shock:

So how long have you all had your babies....

I received Pelota on August 24th of this year, and have loved every moment of her up till now. In such a short time, she's already put on some girth, and I've decided to put my RTB on hold for a while and am currently hunting for a male bp as a future breeding mate for Pelota.

It's such an addiction...before I even got Pelota, I was already thinking of the next snake I could get. And I'm always forever looking in the online snake classifieds, looking for local deals. I've seen so many local snake ads that I've had to resist. Damn snake addictions...

I brought Issa home on October 9th. I'd love to start on some more herp projects, but I'm waiting until I have a job lined up for sure after I grad. Also, depending on where said job is, I may be moving, and I don't want to stress out any other herp with moving in the winter. (If I get lucky, I'll go to work full time at the place I was a co-op for...which is only 5 minutes away

How about Ashton(Kutcher). Oooooooo. He's so dreamy!
