All three of them. Form left to right : Vinchenzo (he was just finishing shedding), Tneme and Ereequel



Tneme size compared to a AA battery



Ereequel size compared to a AA battery



My first and favoite: Vinchenzo. he's not as big as the others...but is just as gorgeous

Dang vinny sure does have a nice pattern like a jungle or something. Nice headshot too.

[kaosu_jouen]

Yea I especially love the slight white spot he has on his head. I've been comparing him to my golden python and they share a few similar pattern traits.

He may be a het of some sort..who knows!?

do u keep your balls in the same encloser?

[kaosu_jouen]

Yes I do

Again, not a good idea, snake are solitary animals and they do not like to be together in an enclousure, they compete for the right temps and get very stressed out.

Brush up on your husbandry a little bit.

BTW just becuase he is a more light color doesnt mean he is a pastel none of them really look like pastels or even a high gold,and it doesnt mean they are het either.

I know snakes are solitary. But since Vinny was housed with another snake since he was very young and has always been since and the other two were housed together AND with two different breeds of snake I highly doubt thre will be a problem. They're doing amazing together now and seem quite content. they have a 40 gallon tank, so can roam as they please, but the choose to stay together.
some species of snake come together and hibernate in large clusters and breed that was sometimes too.

And as for me thinking that Vinny could be a het of somesort...it is just that...a thought. I know that colors can vary, but I just found it interesting that he shared some similar traits to my gold python more so then my other male pastel and some other pastel pythons that I've seen.

Thanks. This seems to be a heated depate more then anything on those treads...But like people were saying in them, I'll keep an eye out. I handle them everyday.
They're getting along well. All eating properly, all going out and roaming the cage and not "eating one another". Thanks for the thread links. I'll keep the info in mind

Thankies once again

Q: Is it Ok to keep more than one snake in a cage?
A: Yes and No. I don't advise keeping different types/species and/or sizes of snakes in one cage. After a 2-3 month quarantine, two or more Ball Pythons of similar size can be house together in a big cage. If they happen to stop feeding, I would suggest separating them to individual cages, and you'll want to separate them at feeding time. (Husbandry)

This is where I've been going for the most part and talking to other ball python owners/breeders as well.

I followed this for the most part. All three of my balls are in a 40 gallon tank and are separated during feeding, no regurgitation or odd behavior has been seen. Come 1-2 am they are out and about their cage, one may straggle and stay in the hide once in a blue moon.

I don't know how he did it, but Vinny managed to get out of his tank one night and slithered in bed with me. I woke up to him under my pillow. The tooth fairy, later, was no where to be found....
