My Ball Python collection

I just cleaned my tubs and ditched the dishes. They are now replaced with PVC Couplers and 16oz Deli Cups(Sub Adults/Adults) or 2oz Portion Cups(Hatchlings)

My collection is:

1168g 0.1 Albino
1058g 0.1 Spider
673g 0.1 Butter
~320g 0.1 Super Pastel
~200g 1.0 Woma
~160g 1.0 Mojave
~200g 1.0 Lesser
~500g 1.0 Bumblebee(Rescued him, very thin, trying to get up in weight..)

Sorry that my room is dirty atm, moving stuff around to make room for another rack. 1 bottom tub is filled with aspen, the other is 2 leopard geckos that I'm trying to get rid of.

Instead of cluttering the page I uploaded the pictures to an album.

My Ball Python Collection

What do you guys think? Thanks for checking it out!

Liking your lesser a lot and that mojave is a good looking fella! Not a big fan of spiders but her reduced black pattern is pretty sharp. Nice looking collection and some interesting possibilities as far as combos if you plan to breed. Saw the guitar, do you play at all?

Very nice collection!
Nice idea with the pvc couplers, I'll have to check that out myself!

I wish I played, I can't sit down and practice at all. Too much concentration needed lol.

I do plan on breeding though! I'm probably getting a breeder Pinstripe Het. Albino male for my female albino, I want some Pinstripe Albinos!

Once I get the butter up to weight I want to throw the Lesser or Mojave at her, most likely Mojave, no change of bug eyes! I rather a 2 Gene BEL anyways instead of a Super.

Spider is going to the Lesser in a year unless I get a better male before then.

The Woma male... he was my first ball python I bought back in December.

I'm going to be building another rack thats similar but 7 shelves instead of 6, the XPVC supplier cut the sheet incorrectly... noticed this when I was putting it together.. Then a 41qt tub rack and get some normal females!

I hear ya' on the concentration factor, lol! I have a guitar I've not even attempted to learn to play yet but maybe someday. Albino pins are HOT! And heck yeah to a two-gened BEL! I have a pastel butter female and a vanilla mojave male I'm waiting to get to size and shooting for a BEL as well; here's to each of us hitting the odds in due time. Never enough rack space...dang snakes are addictive, lol!

I was hoping to get the butter up to weight and breeding ASAP but she's a stubborn eater.. Only eats mice and maybe 3-5 a month.. ~670g and she's a July 2010 Hatch... if by July 2013 she's not up to weight I think I'm gonna try to breed her anyways.

Even if you don't hit BEL you'll hit some nice things!

I have a 2010 100% het albino female who's like that. I have a few 2012's that weigh as much or more in some cases than what she does. She's currently on a 9 month fast and I'm about done trying with her. Perfect health and I've tried every trick I have heard of to get her to eat to no avail. I've taken her to the vet and she's been given a clean bill of health...heck if I know! Seriously considering giving her away to someone that wants a challenge, lol!, as she'll never get up to size at this rate and I need to downsize anyway. Good luck with your girl getting up to size; fingers crossed for you. I have yet to breed any of mine and the wait is killing me! Thinking of putting my vanilla mojave male to one or two of my breeder normals just to try my hand at it but I dunno...all are up to size but we also might be moving, sooooo...decisions, decisions, lol!

I want to get some normal girls but I keep running into good deals locally on females. My butter was my worst decision, sucks that she wont eat! She wont even eat ASF!

how big were those tubs? are they not too small?

That sucks! Nothing like shelling out the money for visual and then have them refuse! Not to rub it in, sorry. All part of it, I guess...I have 13 total at the moment and other than the female I mentioned, my others are consistent feeders on live Norways, thankfully. Have enough stress in life, thought I'd get into snakes as a relaxing hobby; boy was I wrong, lmao! :D
