While at a recent reptile show, a buddy dropped this off at my booth. He didn't know the history past it was purchased at least a year earlier and it was het for something. When I received him, he was so skinny I wasn't sure if I could revive him. Turns out he has an amazing feeding response. Within weeks he was gaining so much weight you couldn't tell he was ever sick. Now he's a plump little ball python. I thought his lack of color was related to his poor condition when I received him. Now a number of meals and sheds later he's still quite a stunner. These pics are a few weeks old. I'll update them soon.
