My Ball Pythons... then and now (Spider, Bumblebee and lesser)

It has been a while since I posted any pics of my BPs, so I took some pics today with my camera.

Monty is approx 850g, Bee is approx 550g and little Stryder is approx 300g

First is my male Spider "Monty"

Thanks for the compliment. He really is a great animal. He is as mello as can be. My wife, who flat out refused to let me get a snake for the longest time (now I have 5), will even hold him. She will see me taking him out of his cage and ask if she can hold him for a minute or two/ She says he is her favorite.

That lesser is amazing. I have been looking for a female like that for quite awhile. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Very cool, it's always nice to see morphs with the hatchling and adult pictures next to eachother. Great reference for newer people.

The bee is hot BUT I love the neck stripe on the lesser:gj::gj:

Here is another pic of the Lesser

I'm planning on pairing him to the Bumblebee next year. He is a little guy, but eats like a champ.

And thanks again to all for the comments.

As for adult pictures of morphs, Virus is right, you really only see hatchling pics. Its amazing how much their colors can change as they mature. The Spider has stayed about the same while the bee has darkened (and has some nice orange speckleing throughout) and the Lesser has lightened up so much. I should note all three BPs have shed within the last 2 weeks.

They are all beautiful! I love that bee! :gj:

Congrats on the beautiful snakes...great pics. :gj:
