    Pythons,, three different kinds.

    Of the 4 snakes we have here, 3 are pythons.

    Two of the three are semi arboreal and rather busy and one is very terrestrial and fairly inactive. All are beautiful.

    Here is a semi interesting look at them in separate photos.

    The first snake ever. My son's royal, Hunter is coming up on seven years old.
    .
    Reduced pattern and somewhat of a cool looking normal.

    The third snake, (number two was a boa constrictor) is a coastal carpet python "mutt". This snake is very active and likes to climb. She handles very well and seems actually "nice" if you can add that tag to a snake.
    Jewel is shown here having a spin on the barbell.


    Finally, there is another species from another continent.
    The first two snakes are from the African and Australian land masses, but this guy is found in Asia/Malaysia/Indonesia.

    Python Reticulatus.

    He's a Tiger morph which I believe was an anomaly first found in the wild and acquired by Karl Herman and then bred and rebred. The color is similar the coloring of the royal.



    It is always amazing to see the different colors and patterns of various species.

    I like to look at them all side by side and study their similarities and differences.

    Thanks for sharing, Hi I! Great pics!

    I have a BP and a Borneo STP and It is amazing to compare and contrast the differences and similarities.

    I like the species you have.

    I've always liked the short tailed pythons.

    Fine examples of their respective species.
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    1.2 Coastal Carpet Pythons
    Mack The Knife, 2013
    Lizzy, 2010
    Etta, 2013
    1.1 Jungle Carpet Pythons
    Esmarelda , 2014
    Sundance, 2012
    2.0 Common BI Boas, Punch, 2005; Butch, age?
    0.1 Normal Ball Python, Elvira, 2001
    0.1 Olive (Aussie) Python, Olivia, 2017

    Please excuse the spelling in my posts. Auto-Correct is my worst enema.

    You're a good man!

    Always supportive and I like what you have cooking at your place.

    I think getting a dwarf/super dwarf Retic would be something you'd like, you have me on the carpet end of things, and carpets are simply one of the best species out there!
