Re: First Ball Python - Albino Mojave

I'm delighted that you have a photo of Noodle's clutch too! There are few things I love more than seeing "baby pictures" of our pets, lol. Noodle had a beautiful mixed bag of siblings, didn't he? Is that a Cherry Bomb I spy at the top? (And that little dark-colored one is just fully balled-up and waiting for things to quiet down, too cute.) Noodle himself looks SO different in each of his "phases," but I confess that I like his current look the best. Can't believe he's a year old already!
If you were to pick a different snake species to keep alongside Noodle, what would you consider?
Too bad we don't get to see how the Cinnamon Ghost brother looks now, nice to know he has a home though! They really all have their own personalities, Iggy looks like a calm and sweet BP but I guess his brother is a more fiery one
Thank you! I like Noodle's current "phase" best too
I love seeing the hatchling photos too, really cool to see how they change as they grow. Yes, that is a Cherry Bomb! She was long gone by the time I found Noodle of course. The Lucy pair in Noodle's clutch was really gorgeous:
If I were to get a different snake species I'd probably go for a diurnal species that I could hopefully see active in the enclosure more often haha. Corn snakes, hognoses, and garters are super interesting to me! I think I love BPs best though so it's most likely that any future snake I get will be a pied ball python.

Beautiful babies! I'll bet the breeder was so proud of that clutch.
Those all sound like really fun choices for colubrid snakes. Have you seen California red-sided gartner snakes? Just amazing-looking creatures! I think the pythons and boas have my heart, though. I'm pretty happy with my two BPs, but a couple more years down the line and with more experience under my belt, I could see myself looking into getting a boa constrictor. There are a couple of BCIs listed on MorphMarket right now that I check on every month or two while sighing wistfully, haha.
Ball Pythons:
2018 Cinnamon Enchi Ghost - Ignis ("Iggy")
2018 Butter Mojave BEL - Ravus ("Rae")
2022 Albino Super Lesser - Cyrus ("Cy")
Boa Imperator:
2018 Hypo Blood - Genesis ("Gen")
2019 IMG Motley - Requiem ("Q")
2019 Sharp Blizzard - Elysium ("Elys")

California red-sided garter snakes are so beautiful, their colours are just out of this world! Boa constrictors are awesome, I've heard so many great things about their temperaments and I love how it looks like they have cross-shaped eyes and those cute mustaches. Probably my second favourite snake aesthetic and personality-wise, although just a bit too big for me to be comfortable with owning at this point. I think I saw another thread that you actually got a boa, how is that going so far?

Gosh, those blanket photos of Noodle are SO cute. I just love the color of his eyes - reminds me of grapefruit, or a lighter variety of pomegranate seed. And that's incredible that he started shedding while you were holding him in your hands! Such a flawless shed, too. I hope that my snakes will let me witness something like that someday.
You are correct, I did cave and get a boa recently! Rather sooner than I thought I would, but I have zero regrets, haha. He's absolutely marvelous, and it's really fun to see how different he is from my BPs, both physically and in terms of personality. His first full set of photos is over in the boa section of the forum - https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...ression-thread! - but below are a couple of them!
If you feel like boas would be a good fit for you if their adult size wasn't so prohibitive, then you might be interested in looking into the boa localities that tend to stay smaller! Genesis, for example, is a Hypo Blood, and the Blood boas tend to be smaller because their origin is Central American. Supposedly, the males in particular are unlikely to ever exceed 4-5 feet, and they grow very slowly - much slower than ball pythons. If I recall correctly, Hog Island boas also max out quite comparatively small.

Thanks I used to think Noodle's eyes looked like little cranberries but grapefruit and light pomegranate are even more accurate, I think. Seeing him shed was really amazing, it's not something I get to witness usually, since he sheds in the middle of the night.
I've gotta hop on over to that progression thread and check out all the photos! Your boa is SO beautiful, that colour is really rich and stunning. I will also look into Blood boas and Hog Island boas, they sound promising

Actually, I could see the cranberries comparison being very fitting too, especially in lower lighting conditions! Noodle is a pretty, pretty boy, regardless of the fruit.
And thank you! Gosh, if you ever decided to get a boa, that'd be so nifty! But at the same time, you could always just keep Noodle as your one and only, and spoil him rotten.
