Chuck Norris the Killer Pied.

I can't hold the anticipation any longer!

backstory: I own 5 ball pythons, all of which I have bought from people on craigslist that were getting rid of them.
I bought a normal 2 years ago when he was a neglected hatchling, all dried up! I nursed him to health and now he is a large, vigorous male! Recently I bought a whole rack of snakes from another guy on craigslist that was getting out of the hobby. I ended up with some cool morphs, one of which is a dazzling female piebald.

After much thought and research, I decided to special order a snake from a pro breeder for the first time. I decided I want to breed my female piebald to make pastel piebalds, and found that Justin Kobylka is one the best known pastel piebald breeders on the market. I ordered a super pastel piebald (killer pied) from J. Kobylka and he arrives tomorrow morning! So psyched!

I'm naming him "Chuck Norris" since I have bold ambitions in breeding this little stud.

First photo tomorrow! I am getting his new home ready. Have to get some wee little hides set up!

I just bought a female piebald off cl im picking her up this weekend [emoji7] keep me (and everyone) updated on this and I want pictures as soon as possible [emoji216]

Just arrived! He is so little, I never had such a young baby! I only took one photo and then put him in his tub, as he seemed a bit terrified. He was smaller than I expected, barely larger than a golf ball.
I had to construct some quick makeshift hides out of little tea boxes, that fit him, because the ones I had were a bit too large.

Any advice from experienced baby ball keepers is appreciated.

congrats!!! anything from J.K. is a living piece of art. :gj:

some general baby beep advice: did you get a weight on him (just curious)? babies do better with a slightly lower hot spot temp; i keep Coffee Bean's spot at 88-89° F instead of the typical 90-91° F. husbandry issues are the #1 reason babies won't eat, so you gota keep his husbandry on point and ensure he feels secure.

If you could go back in time and tell me 5 years ago that I would spend this much money to buy a baby:snake: snake... I would have thought you were crazy. :rolleye2:

Very nice pickup! He's super cool! 😎
