Sid's Pregression Thread (Why not?)
Granted I just got this guy yesterday, I was able to take a picture as he was gripping around my hand for warmth before placing him in his tub. Sid is a 2015 pinstripe Male BP. Not sure on the hatch date but I will try to get that. I hope to bombard y'all with more pictures in a week or so of how Sid is doing, mainly for my own sake. He is currently 16-17 inches long, the weight is yet to come as I don't want to stress him out. When the previous owner handed him to me he was a bit defensive but soon relaxed and got out of the ball and "s" shape and sprawled himself out. Got him home nicely, kept the car warm, and put him in his tub immediately as I got through the door. Humidity seems to be dong better than I expected. The only issues I seem to have run into is that he's a tad bit too big for the hides so he pokes out a bit and he can push them around. The other issue is that no one heats the house, so I'll sneakily turn it back up to at least 68 and I got cheap under tank heaters (my bad, going to get higher quality ones either today or tomorrow) that don't seem to heat through the thin substrate very well. Everything seems to be sorting itself out. http://i328.photobucket.com/albums/l...pss9vkdgl4.jpg

I got back an estimate for Sid's hatch date(Which is July or August of 2015). That's way more helpful than just knowing the year. I love thinking(And looking) of all the possible combos I could make with this guy, especially with his light coloring.

He may look cute but he's a drama king, but that is how I expect most youngins to be. He was sweet during the transitions. However, when I went to change out his hides, he threw a hissy fit. Granted, he likes to push them around but he's all cozied up and settled, doing what Ball Pythons should be doing. I spent days and days searching for that "perfect" name. Turns out, all I had to do was watch Ice Age.

u can make a DIY hide outta plastic pots and planters. (or even cardboard box for a quick temporary fix) as for heating, get a space heater. u can heat an individual room rather than your whole house.
congrats. i can't wait to see more pix.
I'll trade you him for Yackle, lol. Just kidding, I could never get rid of this little guy. I just bought some plastic pots today and they are doing the trick. I'll look into getting a space heater.

Such a cutie, can't wait to see more pics
Re: Sid's Pregression Thread (Why not?)
Well, Sid dumped his water dish everywhere. Lucky me, aha. Was able to get two more quick shots. Let me tell you, he does not like to stay still when out and about (Only for about 3 minutes while I took the picture and put everything back into his tub).
