Kickstarting the new collection with this male

[Dravenz]

I recently decided, after much thought and deliberation, to restart my ball python collection. My first buy was this Male, who pictures exceptionally well.



I am yet to see him in the flesh. I literally just bought him this morning, but he should be with me soon.

Anyone want to guess what he has going on? There are 3 genes to choose from (all co-dom).

I can't wait to get him and see those colours first hand! Sorry...gushing, melting and ranting hopelessly...I'm just so happy to be getting back into BPs and with such a nice looking baby.

Edit: Pic sent by breeder today, pre-ship.

I’m gonna piggyback on this right here, lol. Gorgeous regardless, best of luck!

Thanks folks!

Soo close with the guesses! Enchi and Fire are right, but the 3rd is Mojave (Fire Mochi).

I was looking at buying "just" the Mochi but then saw this little dude and the added Fire gene sure does its job of enhancing the vibrancy of color.

He was from a GHI Mojave Enchi x Fire clutch. Bread by Tony Crawley in the UK.

I have another baby from the same breeder currently incubating (hopefully he hits the odds with one of his soon to hatch clutches. If I get a refund instead of a baby I'll be gutted). But that story is for another day.

I'll probably be insufferable when this little guy arrives, so there are more than likely more pictures to come lol

Welcome back to the hobby!!! Great first choice!!

[Dravenz]

Look what I just got!



After a slight delay due to couriers all being busy with the Hamm weekend, he has arrived! And he is stunning!

My camera is a bit stone age and I am a terrible photographer, but here are some snaps I took briefly before letting him settle in after his long journey.

Say hello, bud:



His little face:



Erm...mugshot?:



Another mugshot:



In all his glory:



Sorry my pictures kind of suck, but even with dodgy user of a dodgy camera he still looks adorable!

I can also highly recommend Tony Crawley (ballpythonsrus.co.uk) who is a breeder based in Essex, England. He was friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and he put up with endless emails asking for pictures, delivery slots, updates without telling me to sling my hook. The snake was delivered healthy, happy and in a timely fashion via specialist courier. From start to finish, it was an absolute pleasure doing business with him. Not to mention the snake itself is beautiful.
