Greetings from Arizona

[Skeptiball]

Hello, everyone! This is my first post and I'm eager to explore the years of accumulated knowledge stored here. I live in San Tan Valley, Arizona (roughly 30 miles southeast of Phoenix) and I'm fairly new to the hobby. I currently own three ball pythons and I really enjoy having them. One is a male pastel desert orange ghost (770 grams), the second is a female albino champagne ringer (633 grams), and the third is a female mystic potion 66% het for piebald (685 grams). I got them solely based on how they looked but now I'm becoming really interested in the genetics of ball pythons and all the different morphs out there. I would love to obtain a few more snakes and start to breed them in time. They're currently housed in glass enclosures and thriving but I really want to move them into a rack system of some kind. In fact, I discovered this site while searching for information on racks. I really like the commercial racks (anybody have any experience with the racks at Reptile Revolution?) I'm seeing and a lot of the D.I.Y. racks look great. I don't have lots of disposable income so I want to make sure whatever I decide on is something of quality and value.

I look forward to talking to all of you and learning all I kind about these amazing animals.

Hello, tttaylorrr! I'll be sure to include some photos of my snakes once I figure out how to do so. I've tried several methods and I can't get any of them to work.

Also, when I was taking a picture of my albino champagne ringer I noticed a few discolored scale on her back, near her tail. She shed last night and I didn't see the discolored scales before that. I know it's difficult to lend advice without seeing a picture but would you happen to have an idea of what it could be?

to share photos: you can upload them to an image hosting site like imgur.com and then post the link here, or you can use the free app Tapatalk to post and upload photos directly from your smartphone.

as for the scales: i really can't say without a photo. it could be some stuck shed from the previous shed, but a picture would help me help you better.
