BP Collection

Will be picture heavy! [emoji28]

I'll be posting progression shots of my ball pythons here.

Thanks for looking!

First up is Lilly, my Caravanah (caramel albino, cinnamon, mojave).
She was born in late 2014, and was produced by Markus Jayne. Currently around 800g.

This one is her looking derpy with a bit of substrate stuck to her nose. [emoji23]

I have two caramel albino females, Dulce and Leche. Both are big old girls at around 6 years old and 1800-1900g. Both produced by Markus Jayne.

I clearly need to snap better photos of them, and catalog which is which. Haha...

Edit: I'm 90% sure that all of these are of Leche.

That is a beautiful bp

I absolutely adore Lilly's super smooth look! I dint know how to describe it exactly but she just looks satin soft. Very pretty. [emoji3]

I like the Caramel a lot

Thanks everyone!

I'm in love with Lilly! She has a lovely calm temperament too, WAY less jumpy than my similarly aged BP...

Rydia! Female Mojave bumblebee, born late 2014 and also produced by Markus Jayne. She is by far the most head shy snake I own, and doesn't display any noticable wobble.

Varys was my first ball python. :) He's a spider, and I bought him locally from someone who didn't know his origins. He's about 2 years old, and around 1600g. He has a pretty bad case of wobble, but he doesn't corkscrew or anything, and he eats just fine (when he feels like it... Picky brat.)

Being a derp.
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06...9f8dfcceac.jpg

We have similar taste, I like the lighter/brighter colored ones too :) Your collection is beautiful! If I grow a collection I'll probably look for something stripey (like your first one) to add to mine.

Thank you! :) I still open the tubs sometimes and think "I can't believe these are mine" haha.

I love me some stripes! I highly recommend spiders. Varys's wobble gives him that little extra bit of personality.

My nicknames for this girl include "her Highness" and "the princess", but her proper name is Persephone. She's a Butter Pinstripe. I got her through a friend and I'm not 100% sure on her origins. I believe she's a 2012. Currently around 1800g.

A recent adventure - while I was busy putting her boyfriend back in his rack, she took a short journey over the top of the rack, then straight back into her own bin. Not exactly an escape artist. [emoji12]
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06...b15040cc74.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06...4f7e268c63.jpg

Her being extremely helpful in the weigh-in process.

Thank you! Only a few more now that I haven't posted yet. :)

You have a wonderful collection. And I am in Love with Lilly! What a beauty.

Gotta love that pinstripe gene

where the heart eyed emoji when you need it??

Love your collection! I've got a weakness for pinstripes, spiders and any combo you can throw together with those two! If I had more space and money my collection would probably look an awful lot like yours :)

Thanks for all the kind words everyone!

Next up is my BP with the weirdest name... Wango (long story). He's a Pastel Calico, though the calico is pretty low expression. He's about 2 years old, and he's a glorious weirdo. I call him my "display ball python". He doesn't like to use hides - used to sleep on top of them - so he just has some foliage in his tank to hide under.

He LOVES to drink. I swear this boy drinks more water than my other snakes combined. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06...7100f1f158.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06...571fa7a36e.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06...8c0c503be3.jpg

A few examples of him not knowing how to house.

Ahh, thank you! I love crocheting those. :) Here is a Bidoof that I did.

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06...63091ef1f0.jpg

Thanks everyone! I'm currently pairing up all 3 big girls, actually. :)

Here are some pictures. Forgive the dirty tubs, I'm told it puts them in the mood. [emoji14]

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06...2925c42aae.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06...bc52c9442b.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06...9a3f572bc6.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06...818e2ff32c.jpg
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06...6d6fdebfb4.jpg

My Fire has locked with the Butter Pin and with Dulce (caramel albino). Those are the only locks I've witnessed, but I've been pairing mainly:
Butter Pin x Pastel Calico
Caramel albino x Spider
Caramel albino x Fire

Best of luck and beautiful BPs

Thanks! :)

Grabbed a few quick shots of my other big caramel albino girl, Dulce. A 2009, around 1800g and produced by Markus Jayne.

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06...bebb9e8177.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06...290c8e57d8.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06...57c7fa3711.jpg

Finally, here is my favorite ball python, Ser Charles. He is a Fire, around 1100g and 2 years old. He brings new meaning to the phrase "would breed a garden hose", and has the sweetest temperament. He will chill out around my neck for an hour.

An adventure with Leche:

"Oh, hello!"
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06...450c9fff8f.jpg
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06...5089829a47.jpg

Not quite as graceful at navigating the chair as the boas....

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06...faecba3364.jpg

... But it gave me a good belly shot photo op!
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06...7e5ae97235.jpg
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06...272e7d1a52.jpg

It was about this time that I realized she was disappearing behind a shelf...
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06...e7b66612e8.jpg
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06...04172eb6bd.jpg

Bye snek!
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06...2cb20a8f6e.jpg

Turns out this shelf has a little hollow portion at the back - who knew?
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06...99dec77182.jpg

I got her out just fine of course. :)

While I'm posting photos of Leche, here are some I grabbed in the sun the other day. :)

I think Dulce MIGHT be gravid! :D
Out of nowhere, her belly is the pinkest I've ever seen:
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06...2be1ff8cd3.jpg
I normally notice a shed cycle coming on a week or so before their bellies turn pink.

Also, I'm pretty sure I can feel at least 3 solid bumps in her as she passes through my hands. She's locked with my Fire male about 6 times.

It's entirely possible that I'm wrong, but I'm excited anyway. :D

Got a few shots of Wango (pastel calico) in the sun this morning. I love how black his blacks are
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06...6e53e23efa.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06...0a198cf88a.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06...bfc7948f83.jpg

KC- you have some really awesome snakes. I sure hope your pairings turn out just as awesome clutches.

I just Love Leche and Ser Charles. My Elvira loves to do what Leche does and find any inkling of openings in the furniture and such.

Best of Luck :)

Thanks for all the kind words! :)

A few random shots, since I'm always taking pictures...
Lilly was VERY cranky before shedding.
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06...ffca84004d.jpg

And much more pleasant afterwards. :)

:) She's a combo of caramel albino, cinnamon and mojave. Hard to believe there's cinnamon in there, she's so light!

A few random shots.

Rydia being a derp.
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...7a24fd6b00.jpg

Edit: Lol, I posted most of those before. -.-

... So I took a few more!

More of little Rydia. She doesn't much care for being out, but I love photographing her. [emoji14]
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...341b9aa272.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...d0bc57b397.jpg

Charles and Leche, what I believe will be my last pairing for the season...

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...2236cfaba7.jpg

Assuming I'm interpreting the signs right :
Dulche has had her pre-ov shed, appears to be glowing, boyfriend witnessed her with tail suck today. :) Immediately went into her pre-lay shed less than 2 weeks later.

Persephone is due to shed any day now, I assume pre-ov shed. She's rather cranky and not her usual inquisitive self.
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...b3cdf5a7f2.jpg

And Leche finally appears to be going into her pre-ov shed. I put Charles in with her one last time today.

In parting, Wango looking very sweet under his plant...
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...2ad5f6503b.jpg
... Until I saw what was next to him.
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...c2b9247ab6.jpg

This is why you can't have nice things.

Number of snakes that wanted nothing to do with me today: uh, basically all of them:

Oh well! [emoji23]

Varys seemed to be in good spirits though. Tell me that's not a snake smile.
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...381f347e59.jpg

A few random shots from recent days.

Varys being photogenic and using his chubby tail as a pillow.
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...35259bf2c8.jpg

Dulce, glowing away! In person she looks like she has ghost in her.
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...11cdec2838.jpg

Possible ovulation for Leche? She's looking quite swollen for a girl who hasn't eaten in 3 months.
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...7b8e07e009.jpg

Lilly making a break for it.

She was not easy to get out of there. [emoji58]

that caravannah is so awesome, as i've said before

Amazing collection and some pretty ladies. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you! :)

This little snot finally took a meal for me last night. :) He's been in full breeding mode with no interest in food for a few months now. I was starting to get a little concerned, as he's getting a bit on the triangular side. Very pleased!
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...5dd37a9389.jpg

She almost looks remorseful... For coming right up to the front of the bin, lifting her tail, and giving us full view of ass cannon central. [emoji58]

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/07...72bf55dff7.jpg

We have a new addition! Nothing genetically exciting, just a normal female - but she's beautiful, and has a lovely temperament to boot.

Meet Daisy!

And a few other photos from the snake room.

Leche, looking cool in blue.
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08...58ea147455.jpg
Leche again (before she went into shed), in an impressively small ball! This is an 1800g girl in the palm of my hand.
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08...5c759051e6.jpg
Even Rydia's face looks worried. Poor nervous little darling. [emoji12]

Hello from Wango!
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08...bca4444aa4.jpg

I thought I already posted these, but I guess not!

This was the day everyone wanted to escape.

Thank you! :)

Not yet, but all 3 girls are looking quite chubby... I'm still crossing my fingers.

Very beautiful snakes.

I'm excited to introduce my newest addition - a super pastel lesser het ghost. :D

I've called him Slowpoke, because when the rest of his clutchmates shed, he didn't. Apparently hatchlings can rarely skip their first shed altogether. He finally shed after almost 3 months.

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09...e3e0d69ec9.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09...538cab0f50.jpg

He's so, so tiny. I'm in love. [emoji7]
