    Ranched Ball pythons=What to look for
    Hi guys,

    I would like to buy some ranched balls, just to see if I can get anything nice out of the clutch :)

    My question:
    What should I look for in a ranched ball python, I am looking at a few unusual ones-should the belly be clean etc....


    Thanks allot,

    DmD

    Ranched ball pythons can be identified by they're wearing of little cowboy hats and boots. This is different then the farm raised ball pythons which are usually wearing little overalls and flannel shirts.

    Ranched meaning: Imported from Ghana, the eggs were LEGALLY taken out the wild and incubated


    So I went to the person and took some photo's of the babies:

    What do you think?
    My favorite:

    Second Favorite:

    So which one would you take? I have a lemon pastel male which I am going to breed with the chosen one at a later stage :)


    Any comments welcome!

    That's a tough choice. Wish the second one was being so shy. Get both :)

    You will know....when you look in the pile of baby balls and one jumps up and slaps you in the face :rolleye2: you'll say "I'll take that one." You will be amaized at how some will really stand apart from the others.
