Coral Glow Progression Thread / General Photo Dump!

[cayley]

I've just received my very first ball python! I've had reptiles previously, but I've always wanted a snake. It was probably a sign when I, as a little weirdo amateur herpetologist, first began to bring (progressively larger) garter snakes into the house. If you want to get silly, I've always had a very significant connection to snakes, something about repetitive dreams and little signs throughout my life. Anyways, being that I'm old enough, I decided to get one!

Thus far, he's untitled. I'm tossed up between naming him Chicosapote (my favourite Mexican fruit, with the cutest name), La Luz (another cute name, which in spanish sort of relates to the idea of dreams), Esquite or Esquitito (basically a diminutive of a dish in Mexico that he resembles) or SOLID SNAKE (which is hilarious, but I like cutesy names more).

He was born in July 2016 to Richard Broadhead at Pacific Pythons, who is a super nice, knowledgeable breeder and I'm really happy that I went with him for my first snake!

I'll have you know that, I realize he looks quite stressed in the video but Richard brought him out to show me and I wanted to quickly film. He went right into his (thanks to you guys, perfectly comfortable) new home and I left him alone. It will be so difficult to give him his space to settle down, as he is so adorably perfect and I love the smooth feeling of his scales and his neat purply shine. I wish that I could cuddle his whole terrarium!

Crazy how we're all so different - I absolutely LOVE all albinos whatever species ....

This one is a stunner already .

Awwww yeah, I actually love the look of nice super pastel hatchlings the most, I think that they have such beautiful patterning and vivid colours. I just don't love how they seem to age.

He's going to look cool when he starts to get some spots. I wasn't always a fan of them but the more mine gets the more I like him. CG is a wicked morph. You got a nice one.

It is 😊 the red eyes are just a little freaky to me,i love their patterns though,we have Lucy which everyone first assumes she's an albino,but she's a black eyed leusitic (super fire)
