We are pretty new to the world of Ball Pythons and we are just loving this.
It all started with a poem written by one of my boys about killing snakes with his grandpa. This upset me very much and I decided it was time to educate my family , even my wife was afraid them. After some talking I had her convinced to at least look, I got her to touch and then to hold one. After that the entire family was hooked.
So after a failed attempt with what appears to have been a pair of unhealthy baby girls from a dealer 10 hours from home we decided not to give up. Here are pics of our babies.

This is Lexi our 4 month old normal girl. We have had her 2 months today. She eats very well and switched to f/t in one try with out hesitation. She is a joy to own and except for a small case of mites that we got rid of she has been pretty trouble free.

This is our pair of boys that we just brought home tonight. The one on the left is Bruno a normal het axanthic with some neat markings. The one on the right is Flynn a very bright pastel 50% het axanthic. The breeder says they are good eaters and judging by Lexi who we also got from him I tend to believe him. The pics don't do any of them justice.
If all goes as planned he will hatch a female spider 50% het axanthic about a month from now and I will be set. The the long wait for maturity and the fun begins.
Thanks for looking.
