Meet Sokrates!

http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...3f9c2f9bc8.jpg

His name is Sokrates and he is a pastel coral glow : )
My very first, and likely only, snake! Don't worry, the box in the picture is just a transport box, we have a 1h drive home at the moment....

From what I can tell he is a very docile and calm one, not even head shy according to the breeder! Hatched August 2015

For now I'm a very happy dad of a noodle who just discovered his cool-side hide : )

I thought the same thing, then a few months later I went to a Repticon event, decided to just look around and hours later I walked out of there with a new noodle and setup. Already saving up for another one for when I go to Reptile Super Show in August.

Anyways, Congrats on your new BP, gorgeous looking fellow. Keep up updated with his progress!

"My very first, and likely only, snake!"

Ha! I said this last June. Let's talk in a year.

Nice first snake. Sokrates...Excellent!

Dave

Absolutely stunning boy. I said that when i got my first, itwas a corn, so i went to a expo and came home with a bp, now i have 3 in two years. So lets see the count 2 years from now.

Haha yea I'm noticing a pattern here :')
I'll stay strong --- more love left for Sok haha

Congrats, Sok is a beautiful ball python!

As for the going to keep only one BP.. good luck lol. I remember when I got my first BP almost a year ago now, I said I was going to keep her, and only her(at least til I moved out..). Next thing I know, not even a month after someone wanted to just give me one and the whole set up!...now about a year later I wanted more.. well, someone on CL contacted me into giving away her snakes since she couldn't take care of them anymore, she just gave them and her set ups(also got a boa shortly before that, but i'm not sure if a boa is for me yet..).. and i still want more lol.

Trust me it will not be your only snake😂

I got my 3 snakes within 6 months and I only planned on getting 1.. that went out the window..😅

I'm planning on getting more when I go to a reptile show(June 19) 3 days after my birthday.. can not wait!


Beautiful snake by the way!

I got my first bp less than a month ago...and then he needed a friend to talk to, or anyway, that's the excuse. They're in separate cages, don't worry. Have fun with your snake, and let us know when you get another one. :D

Beautiful snake :D can't go wrong with a coral glow

Update: At 9 months, Sok is 86cm long and weighs 431 grams!
That was the last time I'll be bothering him for a week, have fun settling in, big boi :)

Haha thank you!
Yea, he's currently in a tub set up that's honestly too small for him, but it's only a temporary solution! There have been shipment issues with the big display tank... (Word of advise, international shipping doesn't work as smoothly as they proclaim.....)
I'll let him settle in in peace, and when it arrives I can move him to the proper tank in a week or so, where he can actually stretch out :) Lotsa space and Lotsa cover for the home boi

actually i didn't mean the enclosure was little. it was a useless adjective i used. BP's actually don't need alotta space and i think your guy will be fine in that space for awhile. i just think think his enclosure looks super cool with the plants, branch, bark, hide, etc. he'll have fun exploring and scooting around in there. :gj: a bigger enclosure will just be a bonus.

Haha yes, I didn't take your comment as such no worries! :) The fact that that tub is too small was just a side note of my own, more or less unrelated to your comment --- honestly it's smaller than it looks in the pictures, but that's okay, because I am literally assembling the tank atm! I had set up that temporary tank expecting to buy a much younger snake.
Now I just need to craft some rails and get my hands on a glass sheet to create a second bottom for the heat pad to work~ some more modding for cables and all, and in a couple days I'm done!

Progress of the last three days: Added a piano hinge so the top can be lifted, custom wooden strips with a “chair” profile to hold a second floor (glass), closing locks at both sides, knobs for the sliding doors, cork panels at the insides left and right, and a coconut mat at the back. Everything is custom made and painstakingly cut to size. Whew.

Still upcoming: two custom made glass sheets as a second floor, more cable drillings plus a cable security mechanism, and hopefully some print foil or paint to cover up the outside. And then I can finally clean everything and decorate :)

Also, yesterday Sok and his first shed with me and it was in one piece! So glad I got to see that!
