My new Pastel Lesser

He is 6 months old and I got him 2 weeks ago... I never got to posting like the week I got him but he is the best little noodle ever! I did some research for his name and I named him Tambi. It means noodle in Swahili. He is so great, and he is a great eater (from what I can tell) I have fed him twice and he strikes immediately.

This is him as soon as I put him in... I got him from a convention and he was in a ball in his bag :Dhttps://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...2020-01-20.jpghttps://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...2020-01-20.jpg
This was him today begging for food even though he gets food tomorrow ;)

I forgot to say that he is my first bp. :D

Welcome!

Congrats on your first! He looks great!

Also: I try to avoid any decoration/hide that have an enclosed opening that I would have trouble cutting if the snake was to get stuck in it. No issue if you keep track of their relative size--I notice that resin log in the photo...recently someone posted their ball python getting stuck in a decoration which is why I even bother to mention it. :)

Oh that would be horrible if he got stuck :(. I might look for new enrichment... Or maybe could it be a option to somehow cover/tape the holes in the log? I think that would work...:confusd:

Don't ever use tape inside the enclosure, it can get stuck on them really bad.

Try putting some fake plants and maybe a half log hide if you need to clutter up the cage more. Hes Pretty little snake [emoji4]

Yes I saw that post, it was a pretty horrific post, I hope his noodle is recovering well.

I think I might turn this into a progression of his growth because he is my first snake... Fun story (I don't have a photo) so I woke up at like 12:00 at night and Tambi was doing a scope... I woke my roommate up just to say "MY ROPE DID A SCOPE!!!". Needless to say my roommate is not happy with me right now... This is Tambi's picture from last night...https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...120_124532.jpg
P.S I am getting a new half log soon and I'm getting more "plants"!

Beautiful little noodle...congratulations on your new sally baby.

My phone wouldn't work by Tambi is sitting on his log and staring at me.... I think he knows its feeding night! :D
