So BLACKOUT happened today.

This happened.
I am screaming in happiness once again, but I am pretending to be a totally chill and sane person while typing. Yes.

Her name is now Blackout, and she is a shiny 350g black pastel female ball python.


She’s not really an impulse buy, because I did buy the equipment for a 2nd snake- but just did not know I would find a good one from a good breeder this soon!! And here she is. In my home. In her tub. But I am elated. AGAIN. Only one week later after Cake.
WHAT. :w00t: :w00t: :w00t:

And some photos of Cake from yesterday... so small in comparison to Blackout!

Blackout has her own corner behind my bed where she can't really see any activity around her, because she was apparently being pissy for a month with the breeder after they brought her to an expo. They guess that she didn't like being moved. So hopefully she can calm down after awhile in a nice and quiet corner and with some handling after she's had a couple meals.

*still cheering*

Congratulations! I'm in my third week with my Noodles and I don't think I will get another one until I am confident that I can take care of a second one. Besides my fiancée will probably kill me as she is scared of snakes.

Thanks! I 100% definitely won't be adding a third one anytime soon now- this time, it is definite.
Aww, scared of snakes? Be like, "They are literally breathing pet rocks who hide under another rock all day." LOL

Oh neat! You're rather close. :D I think I may have even messaged you about ball pythons a few weeks ago... or could be someone else breeding ball pythons in Van Nuys...

Nice get!

Dave

Fantastic pickup! They both look very clean and healthy! Albino black pastels! Nice project boss. I like the sound of that! :gj:

Sure you won't. That's what we all said. Then pretty soon you're start thinking, "well perhaps a little Firefly would be nice? I mean what could it hurt?"

Next thing you know you're out there trying to score a Pastel Enchi het clown or some other recessive. I would tell you to say, "NO" but it's already too late. You're already in denial. Welcome to the addiction.

lmao i always see your posts on tumblr! very pretty baby.

Oh no, the truth is out!! NOOOO. (secretly yells yes.)
True true though, the time will come... I can just see it. But no. I have to avoid seeing it for now.

LOL yes! I just started my animal blog for mainly my dogs in the long-run, but... ball pythons recently though.

Randomly updating that the hides I made for Blackout out of plastic bowls... are slightly too small. LOL.

She tries to curl up under them and they end up just rising about half a centimeter off the ground. So she is essentially carrying the hide on her back. :juggle:

Gorgeous snake!

I love my super pastel girl, but have to admit I'm a little jealous of Cake and Blackout :P

He seems to have a talent for names, even the ones he doesn't end up using

It was either going to be Cake or Waffle, to be honest.

Wait, whaaaat? :o I swear it must be you, or else this is the most ridiculous coincidence in the world! I might have emailed you through a craigslist ad or on faunaclassified, so not through here.

Ah yes, my Cake. Sweet cake. Aha ha haaa :P

Aw, thanks! I'm in love with super pastel as well- I was actually either going to go super pastel or black pastel, but decided with the latter. Please somebody name their ball python Waffle though.

(random info but: I am, in fact, not male. LOL)

black pastel albinos FTW

Well, I feel silly now :P


Would love to get an albino like Cake one day, though I'd also love to have a black pewter.

First though, I need to convince the wife to let me get another one, let alone spend a significant amount of money doing so :snake:

You know, just casually buy a little tub, UTH, all that jazz and keep the setup in a corner next to your bed... :P She will never know, until it is too late.

This might be the most random thing ever, but... there is an albino female het VPI Axanthic for $140 SHIPPED right now. The breeder is a reliable person, it seems.

I am dying at the steal price. WOE.

Alas, the good ole international shipping issue :P

On the plus side there is a semi-annual reptile expo here in Calgary, so if I find a good deal there, I could always "accidentally" have one followme home when I get Manasa a bigger tank next year :D
