Normal Ball python

Hey everyone

Just an update on my male normal.
I got him at the end of november 2010 and since then he's grown a foot. He's been eating medium rats.
Here are some pics of him. He shed this week and is looking bright. He has a good amount of blushing on him which looks really nice.

My friend has a pastel female that he's growing out. We're planning to breed them maybe next year if she's up to size.

He looks good!

He look good, how old is he? I know you said you got him at the end of November, but how old is he in total??

Well the guy i got him from wasn't taking the best care of him so its probably not accurate but he said the python was about 4 years old. The previous owner kept it with a second ball python and i think also with a boa. He was fed 1-2 mice once a week. Thats probably why he grew so much with my care. He was catching up.

Here's a pic of him with my little brother

Oh Cool, well I'm glad you're taking care of him now, some people shouldn't have pets at all, let alone reptiles which fall outside the mainstream...

He's looking good, getting nice and big :D

Well the python is doing great
He definitely put on a lot of weight, unfortunately don't have a scale to measure.
He grew 15" since November, and is at about 51" currently.

Here are some pics from today
He is in shed atm
Last shed was a month ago so he's still growing

Almost positive that its actually a female, which would make more sense given its size
I can't get any hemipenes to pop out so it appears to be female.
So SHE is doing quite well. Feeding on small-medium size rats and still growing.

look like chocolate :D
