    Hey all! The summer of 2012 I was really annoyed with my balls feeding habits so I decided to sell/trade my small collection. I promised myself never to buy a ball ever again. And now here we are Got these 3 new balls in a really nice deal. They are all 50% poss. het pied, so I dream of making some really awesome stuff from these 3! The pics are taken with my phone, so the quality isnt awesome, but hey, everyone cant be a pro-photographer

    First up; Enchi male poss. het pied. I think he is a really nice specimen.


    Lemonblast poss. het pied female. The colors arent top notch, but I like the busy pattern.


    And last but not least, my personal favorite, Firebutter poss het pied female.


    Thanks for looking

    Very nice!

    What was wrong with the last batch of snakes you had? I've heard bad things about the eating habits of het pieds

    Well they were just as balls are. Eating fine for a few months, then just stop for a few weeks, then starting up again. Some where real rat-slayers and others were really picky. The feeding response of balls leaves alot to be desired compared to most other boas/pythons, as we all know. Patience really is the name of the game with balls, and I will try harder this time around.

    Now I have some other snakes in my collection (thrash cans!) aswell, so now I dont have to get pissed over an un-eaten rat

    Nice pick-ups A little patience is all it takes.

    Get yourself a little Critter Carrier and house your refusals in there for a few days and try again. I always buy a few extras to feed during the week on a few sub-adults that I'm trying to plump up. Just don't mix refusals from a QT animal in with refusals from your established collection.

    A few pick-up's I had that were well started refused for a while. They just need to get used to the new environment. I have had zero problems with hatchlings feeding no matter where I have picked them up from. Sometimes the hatchlings will outgrow a well started animal due to the time it takes them to get comfortable. I have a 550g Black Pastel 100% Het Pied that refused for 3 months after I got him. I really wanted to pull my hair out. He lost 50g, but is now eating like a champ every week and is well over his original arrival weight.
