You'll have to resize the pictures before posting then...or use links to point to the images if you want to use oversized pictures. And you can post them all in the same thread if you want...just be sure to put a line-break between images so they don't line up side by side. :)

Re: My new Ball Python
Very nice looking snake!
A couple of points in addition to what others have said -
One fuzzy mouse a week, in my opinion, probably isn't quite enough. Your snake should be able to handle hoppers with no problem, and move up to small adult mice when he reaches 100 - 120 grams. Basically a food item that is roughly the same diameter as the snake is at its widest point.
The other thing I wanted to mention is that you said you have a ball python. I noticed that you are from the UK. I don't think ball pythons are available there. You most likely have a ROYAL python. Not a problem, because they seem to be pretty much identical... same size, temperment, habits, colors, even all the same morphs. I don't think they can cross breed though, because every time a ball python is shipped from the US to the UK, it magically becomes a royal python, and a royal shipped from the UK to the US becomes a ball. Wierd how that works!!!
(Obviously, my royal/ball stuff is all in fun!)
Best of luck with your ball/royal python!!!!
