Asmodeus progression thread!

[Ziegbod]

So, ive been browsing the forums a while and I decided to get my first BP in a long time. I went to a reptile expo, originally looking for a tarantula.. but part of me wanted to get a bumblebee ball python.. well I never got my bee. I did get a Fire Fly male though! He's so yellow, which is probably why I grabbed him haha. He weighed 80 grams~ when I got him, right now he's weighing 116g. Eats like a champ and never refuses.

Introducing Asmodeus! Day 1 80g~



10-4-2017 - 116g

I was hoping to find something super yellow, which is why i liked bee's. IDK what fire does, but it seems to make the pastel pop lol

Fire brightens them up and makes them a bit more yellow I believe. Super beautiful boy! I didn't like more yellow when I first got into the hobby for some reason but now they are some of my favorite! Lol

He ate his first rat pup last week, and just yesterday he took a FT rat pup without issue. Which was a major relief.. pet store prices for rats/mice was insane. Now I just got a bag of pups sitting in my freezer lol! He's grown so much, he weighs about 170g now and is perfectly tame. I named him Asmodeus because he was so bitey, wanted to act like a demon i'll name him after one. I'll try and get pics shortly, he's getting so big . Looking around to get a Spinner or Spinner blast. Already addicted xD

I LOVE the firefly... It's deffo on the wish list! Your Asmodeus is gorgeous, I'm jealous!
As for feeding, I'm glad he's eating! Beeps are so finnicky sometimes (Looking at you, Mars Bar!). I think a lot of people on here buy rats online, the price for frozen shipping is quite steep (I know it's £10 here, America I don't know) so for one snake you might have to place a large order (Hope you have a big freezer!) but if you buy bulk it's a lot cheaper than pet store prices.
Wishing you the best!

I found a rat breeder out here through some local ball python breeders, slowly making contacts haha. Very convenient for me to get live or F/T rats now, guy does delivery for 5.00 no matter the size of the order, so cheaper than pet store prices, shorter commute to the meet and a rat breeder with a great reputation makes everything so much easier. I was actually a bit worried when I was switching him to FT, cause with live he was always very skittish to eat, with the FT rat he took it right away. Hoping he keeps that habit.
