I agree. That second one looks like it could use a few good meals.

I hope this is what you are asking, otherwise I feel dumb. They are ball pythons, you can tell them apart by their size, pattern, and that they do exactly what their name says when they feel threatened, they coil around them selves making a ball.

thanks :P
i guess i didnt specify my question.
i meant, what type of ball pythons are they?
ive heard of cinnamon pastels and black pastels and spiders and albinos and etc. in this bp.net:gj:
soooooooo yeah thats the question i meant.
and the second one has already eaten, that same day that i bought him/her.
and its way younger than Penelope.

..... :no: :tears:

i asked and they said "oh their ball pythons"
and so i just picked the best looking one, he/she was really
active:cool:, while the others unfortunately looked pretty down unhealthy:(

what? whats wrong???

Yes they are just normal ball pythons. They are not any type of color morph. Just search through the forums here for info on care, housing, (husbandry) and different morph types to get more info on BPs.

Hi,

I reeeeealy like the abberant looking neck stripe on the smaller one. :bow: :bow: :bow:

If that were mine I would definately be dinking around with it in a few years. :O

Nice looking BPs!!

Although, you may need to work on the setup a little, it is much too large.

That smaller BP is real nice looking, I agree with Derek, that would make a GREAT dinker project!!:O

Yeah they are all normals.

And about the habitat, i would say it needs a little work. There are plenty of threads on here about the correct setup. Ball pythons like smaller enclosures rather than larger. Also if you keep them in the same enclosure I would highly recommend seperating them. Being together they can pass diseases, bacteria, parasites and viruses to eachother and if one is sick and has diarrhea you will have no idea which one. Also a new addition should be quarantined for at least 3 months before being put into the same area as the others in the collection.

Nice normals. As everyone has already stated, the setup definitely needs work and it would be best to separate the two. Are you sure the first snake is a 3 year old female? What are you feeding your snakes and how often?

Oops! Ha ha, yeah, they look like normal ball pythons. Very pretty, maybe you could try feeding rats to make the second one plump up a little quicker.

sarin- yeah its a 3yo female, why do you ask?
derek- dinker? abberant? whats that? sorry im new :P
others- thanks for the input, im working on making it better for them, but its just money wise the reason for taking alittle bit longer.
