calico BP

I have a Calico that is difficult to feed. He refuses just about anything. So I was at a reptile show and was talking to a ball python breeder and he said that Calicos are the worst eaters and he has never heard of one making it to adult hood. Any of you heard of this fact?

This post made my whole day !!!!!!! :D

Lol... I'm not as funny as Eric, but if Calicos don't grow enough to breed, there wouldn't be any Calico available for sale.

Please describe your setup and we'll try to help you the best we can.

Bahahahaha

You made my whole MONTH! hahahah

that did sound funny, its a morph, not sure the exact combo. Snake a + snake b = snake c. Snake c is the bad combo. Its like carpets and Jags, the jag component makes the snakes haywire, neurological problems.

No. It's not a combo. It's a base morph. A calico ball python is a pretty common single gene animal with no known issues. They grow and reach adulthood just like any other. The person you were talking to is "less than an expert". ;)

Just think about it. Let me know when you get there.:rolleye2::D . I'm still rolling on the floor. That's so funny.:P

Can you take a pic of the calico for us?

Shhh...don't let her hear this. ;)

Horrible cell pic but you get the idea.

The guy I bought it from said it was a super pastel calico or something like that. It would not spin off any normals. I paid around $350 I will try to get a pic of it. Anyways, back to the original question, is there a chance that this type of morph harder to get eating then others or are all ball pythons about the same.

Each individual snake is different when it comes to food. You just need to make sure that you have proper husbandry and then figure out what's the best feeding plan for your BP.
