    My first Royal!

    This is my BEL, Raka. He is approx 4 months old and I've had him approx 2 months. He is a Special Lesser Leucistic NoCo line (whatever that means). He's a great eater and a very friendly guy. I'm not new to snakes...I have other species but he is my first Ball. I kinda love him Anyway, here are a couple of pics. I hope this works because I'm technically challenged at posting photos!

    1.1 Balls- Special Lesser Leucistic (Raka), Nuclear (Vesta)

    Awesome choice!
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    0.1 Normal Ball Python, Elvira, 2001
    0.1 Olive (Aussie) Python, Olivia, 2017

    Please excuse the spelling in my posts. Auto-Correct is my worst enema.

    Thanks everyone! He was definitely my most expensive snake purchase but I just fell in love with him. Got him shipped from a reputable breeder. He will probably be my only ball for now. I won't be breeding so I am just obtaining different species now. Coastal Carpet on the way then NO MORE SNAKES!
