Progression Thread for a Pastel Axanthic (Oliver)

Recently obtained my first ball python, a pastel axanthic male. After some helpful input from you all I settled on the name Oliver (or Ollie). He seems to have settled in nicely for me, I've had him for just over a week and he took his second meal for me today. So excited to watch this guy grow!
I weighed him yesterday and he's only 78 grams. He hatched on October 21st, 2016.

He took his first frozen thawed for me today which I was ridiculously excited about. Last week he'd only eat live but I figured I'd still try frozen first just to see. And success!

From earlier this week, this was the first time I had him out since I got him. It's so neat to me how they will slither right up alongside straight things.

Nice little one

Good looking little fella. Congrats 🍾 on switching to frozen! :)

Cool snake!

Love axanthics all I have to say about that lol nah but I plan on doing what the guy does who made the stormtrooper ball python lol he says everything's better with axanthic and puts it into everything and it's something I wanna do is cross it with almost everything I have lol idk the silver just got me hooked but babies and that blue I was blown away but sadly doesn't stay

Also what line tsk or vpi or joliff lol I have a vpi axanthic and a 1 that the lady didn't remember what the breeder said she was but she said she's never been silver with her and when I started to breed her and before she laid her eggs she went silver and way lighter then I've ever seen her but I hope she's the tsk line because then I'd have those 2

He's VPI line :)

I find vpi axanthic the best just because the 100% het vpi axanthic babies are always nicer and have a brighter back I first heard another breeder mention it in a thread then a youtube video and when I had my first clutch of them I noticed it too
