Very pretty! The numbers mean male.female.unknown. So 2.4.3 would be 2 males, 4 females, 3 unknown gender. Most people just post male.female

If he is 96g please do not move him to a 40g breeder. Even a 20g long is too big for that little snake!
Very pretty little one though :)
I just got him the other day I was told he was an 09' baby ( i just dont know when) and he isnt in a 20 gal long its just a 20gal. my 09' corn hatchlings are in a 40 gal breeder and they do well they ea. have their own tank

Corns and ball pythons are completely different in their care. While a cornsnake will do great in a 40 gallon, a ball python as small as yours will feel overwhelmed in such a large enclosure.

By the time he gets that big (a couple of years) you may have become a tub convert! ;)

LOL... :8: You'd be surprised - the man will probably come around, and want his OWN snake in a few months!
Nice looking baby, btw, and I think his weight looks healthy enough for now. Age doesn't mean much at this point, since they all grow at different rates... for example I have three boys born in July '09, and they currently weigh around 340, 450 & 620g respectively. Quite a difference! :oops: So as long as they don't look underweight for their length, I wouldn't worry about the age vs actual weight.
