Abaddon

This is Abaddon, my first ball python.

She's a lavender albino. I picked her up on January 8th.
She's roughly 3 months old and is about to shed. She was a little dry, and cold when I picked her up. Although I've managed to condition her scales a fair amount, she's still kept this cool temperature to her. She likes to keep to the hot end which I try to keep between 90-95.
Behavioural wise, she is much different then I expected. She has never once curled up in a ball, she's only hissed when she's trying to sleep (I have to wake her up the apply the shed aid), she's extremely curious, always flicking her tongue and is not head shy at all. Even on the way home she was more interested in the smells in the car then she was scared.
She has what looks to be a tiny scar on her under belly

Congrats on getting your first bp, she's beautiful! Good to know she's healthy and active. If she is indeed going into shed be prepared because she will most likely refuse to eat. But dont worry about the scar, she'l shed that off, it doesn't look like an active injury, looks healed up.

And she'l always be cold to the touch as we humans are warmer :)

That area you think is a scar is the "belly button" of the snake. Nothing is or had been wrong with it. Congrats on the purchase, my first was an albino as well.

Ok, thank you, I thought I might be something like that but I wasn't entirely sure. Albinos are so pretty :D

Very nice I wish it were in my collection.

I love albinos. You should make a progression thread and update it every once in a while so we can watch how he turns out.

I've been found out! I am a geek.
Long live the queen.
It was either Abaddon, Lilith or Lucifer
Most name their albinos "Angel", I decided to be a little abstract about it.
