Any visual things to worry about?

I know these pictures aren't the best, and having given them the once over by eye they seem fine, but I figured it couldn't hurt to post pictures of my new ball pythons in hopes someone else might see something I didn't. They act a lot different than my other 2. Much more shy, and the male spends most of his time curled into a ball (yeah, irony right?) in his rack but I know that's pretty much to be expected especially after the stress of the ride home. Offered them a meal just in case but neither seemed remotely interested. This could be because of stress and could be because I offered F/T when they've been raised on live. Anyway, I also thought I'd share my new babies.

Yes, they are being isolated from the rest of our pythons, and from one another. No snake mites, no obvious health issues or retained shed. Just figured this was worth posting as I have really high paranoia by nature, and I figured it might be worth showing them to the pro's just in case.

Any visual things to worry about? Nope. Unless two good looking ball pythons are something to worry about. Also good job quarantining them and keep at it with the f/t they should give in eventually. My pastel was such a mouser two years ago but just slammed a medium f/t rat last night.

It's gonna be so hard to keep at it but I know I will feel better once I get them switched. I'm so used to dogs and lizards that need to eat every day that it's already weird for me to only be feeding our other 2 once a week. Especially now that these guys are gonna have to wait another week before they eat my brain is screaming I KNOW YOU'RE FINE BUT JUST EAT SO I FEEL BETTER! Love them though and think they're so pretty!

Best of luck with them enjoy. Pretty good looking bumble bee. I checked out your other thread and know what you paid for them good for you. Given how much people breed now and days its only a matter of time before you find a deal. With them not eating when it comes to ball pythons don't worry to much right out the gate. For me their biggest draw back is how they tend to be picky eaters. A good bit of advice i heard was "when a ball python goes off feeding it tends to stress out the owner more then the snake". I believe in this my pieds first major fast lasted for around 9 months. I didn't let it stress me out cause i was pretty sure he's just not eating. I figured cause he didn't look that bad weight wise if he was sick and not eating after 9 months he'd be dead. If he started looking sickly at any point a vet appointment would have been made. He's currently a pig btw. And again best of luck with your bp's looks like you got a nice little collection going.

Oh god, that would drive me insane! Glad he went back on. I feel bad for my girlfriend because the love is infectious and now we both are itching for a good collection!
