The addiction is real - my 2nd ball (black pastel)

I actually picked her up a few weeks back but I let her chill for a little while. She's been eating like crazy which is awesome. She's also sweet as pie and cool to hold, unlike my lesser who is kind of a doorknob (he gets spooked by his tail).

Ugh, I got a T8 cause there nice as hell, but it had a extra space so I had to get another snake right? Now I just keep looking at racks. They seem so space efficient and I can keep more? That's hard to say no to lol

My fire is like that, has no problem exploring but gets spooked super easy by most anything.... sometimes even a shadow and very nice pick up by the way

That is such a nice black pastel!!!

I can seriously relate; the addiction hit me pretty hard.

Couple weeks ago I had no reptiles, and saw an albino on Craigslist and thought.. 'hmm... that's a super cheap albino. I always wanted an albino. I should get it as a pet.'

That single thought has mutated into an animal plastics rack with 7 ball pythons: three from craigslist, two from a breeder in Georgia, and two from a reptile expo, in just two weeks.

There's no hope for me.

No there is no hope for you. You are hopeless just like the rest of us.:D

Yep. Over the past three weeks I added 5 bps to my collection and a retic. Once it starts.....

Yes I do and I'd highly recommend it. It's super easy to put together and really clean looking, everything you've read about em here is true. I just need to get some LEDs in mine cause it can get hella dark and impossible to read the gauges sometimes.

Any chance you could get pics of her sides, including her lower sides? Maybe also the belly? She's a very lovely snake and a beautiful addition who will almost certainly make beautiful babies . . . but . . .

Satins happen to be the line of black pastel I work with, and it may be my monitor, but I have to admit, there isn't a lot of resemblance. The lightness, the gold rather than copper color, and the markings kinda bother me. However, one of my babies from a few years ago was also rather bright (not as bright, but brighter than usual). Hence, my request for more pics of your girl.
