Same hat though. They posted pics of one of their normals on eggs, and I'm just like 'IS THAT MY FUTURE CHILD IN ONE OF THOSE EGGS???'

I'm almoooost finished with my quarantine tub. They said to expect their normals to be ready to go mid-June, and I think the mels laid a couple weeks after that? Just gotta wait and see regardless though.... lol.

I have actually! If I do get a female I was planning on calling her Kallari, named after an assassin character from Paragon.

https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...7aso1_1280.jpg


Unfortunately the game is going to be cancelled but that character still holds a special place in my heart as I used to main as her and my husband worked on the game, so I've seen the game develop from alpha to open beta.


But I admit bubble tea as an option is totally cute! Hehe

I'm still wondering why colubrids ever went out of style.

Alternatively "Midna" from Twilight Princess. I'll often find myself flip-flopping between "Kallari" and "Midna" so I guess I'll see which name I end up going with lol

AHHHHH momma looks amazing and that clutch looks great! i'm excited for you!!! [emoji3]

i've had my adopted Corn for just over a year, and i can't imagine NOT owning a Colubrid. they're so different and yet, still snakes. idk how they lost their mass appeal; they're LOADED with personality and very active and inquisitive. Corny absolutely has a special spot in my heart and id love to get another Colubrid when i have the space. [emoji4]

Thank you so much! I'll especially be looking forward to seeing how owning a more active snake is like! I didn't even realize colubrids lost appeal in the first place, I always thought they were still popular considering the personalities I often hear about!

I'll be honest (and this is probably sacrilege on this forum lol), colubrids hold more interest to me than ball pythons. I love Maze to pieces, but I really don't see a reason to get another ball python when I already have such an amazing one.

I can't wait to meet your little girl! I like both names, and while I'm not familiar with Paragon, I do really like the sound of Kallari. Midna's also an awesome name (i luv zelda :love:), even tho Twilight Princess's aesthetic was so dark that I got too nervous to finish the game lol. I watched playthroughs though. Could probably do it now, since it's been about 10 years :P.

i honestly think it stems from a marketing perspective. the Ball Python morph boom of the 90s is still going fairly strong. if you're a breeder and you want to sell at a show, what animals are you going to take with? the $200 Caramel Tessera Stripe Corns, or the $700 Pastel Enchi Leopard Coral Glow? the ball python "fad" is just stronger than the Colubrid fad.

guess what was vogue before balls, tho? Colubrids. ;)

that's awesome! and you truly got a winner with Maze. i had 3 wonderful (but semi-stressful) years with Yellow and thought very carefully about my future with these amazing animals before deciding to get another, as i was eyeing other morphs and getting the itch. i realized i was ready for the commitment and more responsibility, and i've since acquired 5 beautiful balls and 1 adorable Corn within a year's time, as i knew i was ready. i'm so so so stupid happy with my gang. most people don't analyze their situation and their future like this, which is a shame, as it works out best for all.

okay taylor, enough. :)

Very nice addition. I'll admit I'm a little jealous because I want one now :oops:. There's just not enough space to keep all the beautiful snakes. Congrats and great choice! I hope the time flies for you :).

Paragon was an awesome game. I was a Revenant main. I had two accounts both were in platinum, though because of the people ruinin the game my other account is now gold. I played Kallari jungle going through gold when I was new though.

Russian Rats are awesome. When I get rid of my Kunashir Island I plan to get one.

On a side note, April 26th is the last day. However, rumors have flown around that tencent was going to keep developing it. I dunno how true that is though. I haven't played in months.

Patience is a virtue I have little of good luck on your never ending wait, but it will be worth it in the end:P beautiful momma snake best wishes always. Can not wait to see the progression thread already;)

Well it's official! My new baby girl will be arriving Thursday! :D:D
