    My Lesser Ball Python Thread



    This is my only current snake, a male Lesser BP. His name's Marcelo, and he's about sixth months right now (recently had some troubles with feeding and shedding, but I've worked it out with humidity levels and changing temperatures).
    He's got very mild temperament, and hasn't struck at anyone yet in the three months we've had him. He's also very curious as most ball pythons are, to the point that if I cover his face with my hand he doesn't ball up as some snake owners have told me about (I'm not sure if this isn't normal or if he just has gotten used to my scent?)

    I wanted to make a designated thread for him, to be able to see the progression of his growth later on (all of these pictures are from today). As he's been on a feeding strike lately, I hope to see faster growth from him soon as I think I've solved the issue



    *note: I've noticed that most BP pictures for size comparison are usually of the snake curled into a ball. I've tried to get any picture of him like this, but he just literally will not ball up. As soon as he's out of his hide he's going somewhere

    Very handsome and healthy looking little guy!

    I have a little female who is the same way. She has a great personality and is super curious. Very rare to see her go into a ball (unless she's about to shed).

    Keep the progression going. Can't wait to see him grow!

    I have one like that too. Bold and outgoing, friendly and doesn’t ball up or get defensive. They are the best pet beeps with that personality! You are blessed
