Hey everyone! I'm a newbie here. My name is Michelle. I had a lesser/butter that I adopted 2 years ago that had been starved, was severely underweight, and dehydrated. I researched everything about ball pythons and took him to the vet. The vet did not think he would make it past a few months. With my care he put some weight on and seemed to come back to life after about 8-9 months, but then after going off of feed for months, he passed on the 7th. I was very saddened because I thought he was going to get better. It was my first experience with a snake. Now I am looking to buy a baby ball python. I am planning on picking up a pastel butter/lesser at the NARBC - Tinley this March:). I wondered if there was anyone else attending the event??? I look forward to chatting it up with you all. I am also wonder what morphs retain their colors nicely throughout their adulthood?
