Bone deformality?

I mean other than the bone bump it looks very very healthy and doesn't seem to be bothered by it. I felt around to see where it went or how big it actually was. The bump itself is no larger than a M&M... it didn't seem to be bothered when rubbing it or applying pressure to it.

Yep! Bred to my lemon pastel. 2.3 pastels, 2.1 normals. She's back up to 3300 grams now and ready to go again!

No he got it as a rescue kind of situation. The owner's got rid of her because of her size. I guess they didn't enjoy feeding it the jumbo's i don't know...But it was size that made them get rid of it. It had been x-rayed by a vet and the vet said it was bone deformality.

If its that small then i see no reason it could not breed.Let us know if you do decide to get her.

That's cool evan...like I said though. It's not a really big bump or anything and it's only on it's back. I was very tempted to buy it right then and there but i was just skeptical...Wanted to look into it's bump and see what it would have as far as a effect on breeding.

I think I am... I mean the bump is the size of a regular M&M no larger tan a peanut M&M...( not even that big, maybe somewhere inbetween)


It's very docile and and doesn't show any signs of being in pain due to it. Like I said I pet/rubbed/applied pressure to it and it didn't even flinch or show any kind of signs of pain.

you guy's think I should go with it?


$150 for a darn near if not 5ft female ball...

THe breeder just wasn't sure if it would breed or not thats why the price is low. but if I'm hearing it possibly could why not?

It's your money...your gamble.

Personally, I love the animals. If I were in your shoes, I'd consider buying her because I wanted to HAVE her just because she's a big, beautiful snake. And if she were able to make babies...then that'd just be icing on the cake.

If you're going to just get rid of her if she won't be able lay eggs....then I wouldn't do it.

She is beautiful and big that's why i want to get her. I won't dump her off because she won't lay eggs if she doesn't...If she does awesome ya know?
Obviously I would like to see her lay eggs but if she doesn't i'll still keep her because she's so big...I've seen a few ball pythons this things pretty big...

Well then, you just answered your own question.
