1st Post : Metaphorically Pipping the Egg

[Het for Normal]

Just wanted to check in and say hello. I've been lurking and using the SEARCH FEATURE for some time now.
I'd like to think I'm past the following regurgitated threads: the importance of regulated heat sources, why won't my new bp eat, and my personal favorite... "is this a normal or something else" threads

My first ball python purchase was a 12' Mojave male that I aquired at the November White Plains expo. He was originally purchased as a pet and at the time I had myself CONVINCED that I wouldn't be interested in any future aquisitions or breeding plans That has since changed and I have my first female arriving Wednesday...

Alas, pictures!
Disclaimer: 1st attempt at posting pics, I've read the posting photo sticky, using photobucket, here goes nothing...

Home sweet home


With UVB light


My Mojave male




Who doesn't like a periscope?


Thanks for looking,

Looks good. Is there a reason why you are using UVB lighting? BP's don't need UV light so the extra cost over a regular fluorescent lamp doesn't make much sense.

Light visibile to my snake stays off 99.9% of the time. The only time it's on is if I have company over and they want to see whats in the tank. This set-up is temporary as I plan on switching to a rack in the near future and using the tank as QT for future aquisitions

Love the periscoping picture.
