Ziggy (pics)

Awww, gotta love the babies! They are so cute when they're little! Seems we have several members that used to afraid of snakes that are enchanted by their ball pythons!

How old does he/she (yeah I'm not really sure of his/her sex) look to everyone? The guy aka a**hole at the pet store said he was around 6 months or so. I'm assuming when I take him/her to the vet...they can confirm the sex and approximate age?

The vet should be able to probe Ziggy for you and perhaps guestimate age. :) What a cutie! I figure all a snakephobic ever needs is to meet a sweet snake up close and personal and they'd fall in love. You're living proof!

LOL! You are sooooo right! And you know what? I can't wait to get home to hold him tonight:)

Well we weighed Ziggy last night and he was 127 grams....that sounds really small to me....should I be concerned? We are taking him to the vet next weekend and he's been eating good and out and about cruising the cage at night (of course he's got the cat so freaked out).

As long as he gets a clean bill of health from the vet and eats for you, his weight is fine (since it's hard to guess the age - they all grow at different rates).


When I got Kashmire, he was just 70 grams.

I feel much better now! Thanks! How much does Kashmire weigh now and how old is he? Also...how often do you weigh him?
