as far as i know this is just a run of the mill regular bp. does it look regular to you all? im new with these snakes

Yes, it looks like a nice normal / wild type ball. I'm sure your daughter will be thrilled.

Okay fess up... he is really YOUR christmas present... you're just using your daughter as an excuse. :D:banana::D

Very pretty! And yes, he's what we call "normal" (wild-type).

ok ok....you got me, but my daughters get to open it lol

It is a "normal" , however it is a really pretty one :) Nice color and pattern, also love the blushing (lighter spots) along the back.

Your kids are very lucky :)

If you are new to snakes, check out the great caresheets on this site. Great tips on how to make sure your snake is happy :)

Congrats :)

I havent had one since i was a kid. been about 15 years. this one is only 18" or so. i was really surprised by how fast it took a meal. dropped a small mouse in the tank, took about 5 minutes till it struck and ate it. dropped another in there took less than 3 minutes and that was dinner also. love watching that lol.

i printed out the care sheet from this site. i had a little trouble maintaining temps. one bulb got it too hot and the next size down was too cool. i went and got an adjustable dimmer switch for the 150 watt bulb, so i was able to turn it down to get 93 deg basking temp. seems to be working good

great looking gift;)

I'll bet she'll love it. Congrats!
