can you send pictures of your ball pythons and other pythons here? I'm wanting to get a ball python for Christmas or my birthday and I would like to see pictures of you're ball pythons! thank you much! :snake::snake::snake:

Here's Falcor. He's in the BEL complex. He's a great eater and just over a year old. Very sweet boy.
Second pic is Soulshine. He is a normal that is around the same age but he's a little bit of a picky eater and more feisty. He's much smaller but he's precious too even though he has struck a few times.
Good luck and happy hunting! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...53aa33b2f6.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...9bb38759cf.jpg

This is my 1.5 year old Albino Mojave ball python, Noodle. He is super sweet and gentle and a fantastic eater who never misses a meal. He also loves to come out to climb and explore at night!

Yes, definitely! I don't buy into the "pet rock" stereotype. Any and all enrichment you provide will be thoroughly used and appreciated. My BP is even interested when I put a fresh ball of sphagnum moss in his enclosure, I will find him out of his hide smelling it with his tongue at night. He also sticks his head out to investigate his water bowl every time I wash it and add fresh water.

Oddly enough ... occasionally I will swap bits of bark from one viv to another viv partly to change things around .. it’s interesting to see how quickly they all start getting curious of the new ‘smells :)

Mine must've missed the memo then, he takes the "pet rock" stereotype and wears it with pride despite all the effort I put into making his home dynamic and interesting (climbing branches, multiple hides, lots of leafy decor). Even when I'm actively performing maintenance he couldn't care less. :rofl:
Though he does have this cute habit of resting his head outside the hide most of the time to monitor what's going on. Every time I come downstairs for the day he's always there to see me through the glass.

This sounds like a cool way to give the snakes enrichment! Even as a single snake owner I occasionally swap certain furniture out of my BP's enclosure the same way some dog and cat owners swap the sets of toys they have out at any given time to keep things fresh and exciting. I've found that after a while my BP becomes less interested a certain piece of cage furniture but he will thoroughly investigate and climb all over anything that is newly added, even if he has had the same item in his enclosure before.

There are definitely different personalities out there so I'm sure some do prefer a more sedentary lifestyle like yours! I found with my BP that age and his level of comfort in his environment also affected his nightly activity levels. Until he was around 1.5 years old (I realized I accidentally typed the wrong age in my first post, he is currently 2.5 years old) and had been with me for around 8 months, he also didn't come out of his hide much or climb at night. I guess maybe hormones or his sense of security in being bigger made him more active.
There's also the possibility that your snake is a ninja and quietly enjoying his cage furnishings when you're asleep :D

I think many just forget that Royals are nocturnal...
I also see comments sometimes that their Royal does nothing ... then I see their photos and it’s in a plastic tub with ONE hide and a small water dish.

Weird thing is I'm practically nocturnal myself so I should theoretically see him at his most active, but he's just content to lounge around most of the time by default. At least he's like his owner lol.
Also to bring this thread back to topic for the OP, here he is. This is Zebes, my five month old banana morph.

What an adorable and beautiful BP, his colours are gorgeous and he has some really nice blushing!
Zebes is still very young so it's no wonder that he is staying in his hide most of the time, my BP was the same when he was little. BPs are more timid and shy as babies and get bolder when they become adults. I'd wager that once Zebes' gets bigger and he starts looking for females he will become more active as well.

Why thank you. Every occasion I hold him I always take time to admire his beautiful patterns in detail. :snake:
And yeah I can see that. His enclosure is also a bit bigger than recommended for his age (30 gallon tank) but I took care to add extra clutter so he still feels secure enough to still venture out willingly (which I have seen him do). At any rate though I don't particularly mind, as far as I'm concerned I take it as a good thing since it means he's happy and comfortable.

Two actually. I've never seen them used after his first initial month or so however.

I’m sure he will as he gets older ...
As mentioned previously they are rather nervous when youngsters ..

I thought BPs tended to be more semi-arboreal when young and climb less with age? That's the general consensus I've heard at least.

He's just banana but is het for ghost and genetic stripe. I think those genes effect the way he looks.
