So how long have you had your Ball Pythons?

lots of matrix names out there!!!

well I think ive had mine since september of this year!

I received CUpid on September 9th of this year. I love him SO much! I got my Redtial Boa on March 11th of this year. I love him SO much too!

I got Junior July 24th of this year.

i bought Monty Sept 12 this year and ive been having a great time taking care of him

I got Link my 3rd oldest about a year ago from my neighbor. Then i just kept getting them and now i am addicted to them. I just can wait until my female lays her eggs here in a couple of months.

I purchased my first BP baby on September 30th of 2003. I named her Isengard shortly thereafter. Unfortunately an accident with feeding a few months later (which now attests to my paranoia over feeding and why I will never place a mouse in their cage, or leave a snake with a mouse even when off feed) caused the baby female to be seriously infected with mites (I had left the pre-killed mouse and the snake in a separate 10gal warmed aquarium, hoping she would eat, and when I came to check again, there were little black dots everywhere). Reptile Relief worked wonders and a few days later both her terrarium and herself were mite-free. I thought that was the end of it, months passed, then in early February (the 11th of this year) she finally passed away. It would be another month of questions until I found out it was an IBD caused by the mites themselves that had killed her.

I wasn't sure if I wanted another snake again after that, but I did start looking into rescues a month or so after that, I wanted to help a snake. A little over a month later, a few days after I had started looking, I found myself the proud new owner of two gorgeous balls, with wonderful personalities. A local, privately owned petstore was going out of buisness, sad because they were one of those rare petstores that actually cared about their animals and had such gorgeous reptiles, they couldn't give me the snakes as any amount of money they could salvage would've been helpful, but they did offer me the pair for a lot less than expected.

So I've owned them both for nearly 8 month's. They have their own silly eating habits but they eat perfectly, shed perfectly, and enjoy hiding in flowerpots o.O;; Love them to death :D

i bought Banshee September 17th.She was a six month old shy snake.

I will have had Ozzy one year on Dec. 13
As for my adopted rescue case Osiris, he was adopted on 7/25/04

I got my first BP, a super-aggressive female, back in early '03 (or was it late '02... hard for me to remember.) She was an awesome snake; had such charisma, and hated to be handled, but took her food like a champ. Due to the ignorance of one of my friends (there I go passing the buck again) her cage was left open one night and she escaped, only to end up frozen in our dirt-floor basement (got down there through an opened heating duct.) I have since learned the value of LOCKED and closed lids, and none of my snakes shall ever escape again.
I got Goblin, my adult male BP, in September '03 at the WNY herp show. He's the only fully grown snake I have now. Ashes I got before Goblin, in the summer of '03, he had been from petco but I got him from a friend that did not want him anymore. :( He was hard to get feeding but now eats like a champ.
Bela is my newest Ball. I got her from Alex Hue earlier this year. Then I got Apache my boa in March of this year. So I am a relatively new python keeper, but I like to think I have learnd a lot so far!

Sage I got new years eve and Schurke 3 months later then I got my yet to be named blood a week and a half ago.
