What a character he is! But not much of a hair-stylist, lol- He looks like a fun snake for sure, but the potential size wouldn't work for me (or most ppl, I daresay?). I know you feel lucky for having found him, but I wonder if he knows how lucky HE is...

Hahaha, he’d better! Spoiled little monster. Yes, it will definitely be interesting to see how big he is as an adult. Most care sheets say they average 4-6 feet, but he is already pushing 6’ 6” at 4 years old. I’ve also met at 3 keepers who had specimens exceed 9 feet. Although, that is extraordinary.
Honestly, I think we simply don’t know all that much about the species. I believe the first CB Nauta in the US was bred by Nick Mutton in 2005? May have been 2004, but still! They were only reclassified from Morelia to Simalia in 2014. Nick also mentioned none of the Nauta in his collection ever exceeded 5 feet.
So basically, it’s gonna be like those little capsules we got as kids that turned into dinosaurs when you soaked them in water. A total surprise!

Beautiful scrub python! I am going to have to get one in the distant future. Oh and sorry about your hand I think it might need a little bit more blood flow.

Wow, that’s a pretty strong love squeeze. He sure is looking good.
The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

Re: Introducing Apophis (pic heavy)
Hahaha, you’d THINK he would get that by now! It might just be a reminder that I fed him pretty lean this spring and he’s not a fan 😉 Little does he know, there’s a fridge full of 100g quail waiting for him now. I haven’t been handling him much lately because there are just too many places in his new enclosure that are hard for me to reach. And I just do not have the arm strength to battle him anymore
He seems to know that if he basks at the front of the enclosure, it’s fair game for him to be picked up. He doesn’t even wrap around those branches; just drapes like a GTP and it makes it easier to grab him. If he basks up there, he doesn’t even put up a fight. No hook, no gloves, no sass. If he basks in the back, I leave him the hell alone. But man, the past couple months it’s like he’s suddenly a grown up! He is SO strong without even thinking about it! This is the first time I might actually hope he doesn’t put on a lot more size

In! But you can’t bring the spider. Sorry. She can have her own house. But not on my street.
