Re: yellow stripe?
that is a pretty ball! I am diggin the stripe and would totally have bought her!!! I bought my first ball with the tank and all the fixins for $200.00. I fell in love with Lucille the minute I saw her! Since then I have down sized her tank. They had her in a 55 gallon fish aquarium. WAY too big for her! Now we have FISH in the fish tank! lol.
Good Luck and I can't wait to see some more pics of your new girl! :carrot:

Looks like a nice buy.. as long as the snake is healthy and robust (it looks fine in the pics, maybe a tad thin, but hard to tell.) As with any new animal, I would get it to a vet and rule out any internal parasites.

thank ya.... thank ya.. :) well she's healthy. i thought it was going to be a morph yellow stripe but come to find out she's a norm *i think * with a beautiful stripe.. guess im one of the few who have a norm like this with a stripe :P well today i decided to feed her a medium size rat so i put it in her tub and OMG she struck with such force and swallowed with ease. i was so amazed cause that rat was sooo huge! was insane :P well shes away hiding in her hot side hide to digest. btw my lil one *anna* is tucked away today and i got kinda worried cause i havent seen her come out in like 3 days.. so i go to move her hide away and it looked like she wasnt moving and i got so worried i touched her and she moved a bit. then i turned on her daylight basking bulb and.... bam! her eyes are sooo gray.. i was like omg let me bump your temps up so now humidity in her tank is 75% and about 95F. :) cant wait to see her in new bright skin. one day ill have a morph to see the beautiful colors, but for now im happy with my 2 new babys :) thanks for the comments :)

Re: yellow stripe?
okay so she's about 4 and 1/2 feet long and she's in a 20 gal. she loves to explore and move around. question is i have a spare 55 gal sitting in garage. think i can put her in there? i know smaller is better in bp sense but seems too small when she goes "exploring"... also i know you cant handle them after feeding and i just fed her a medium rat yesterday. whats the earliest i can handle her with out regurgitation?

Re: yellow stripe?
Its considered best to give them at least 48 hours after feeding before you try and handle them again. And congrats on the new pet. :)
