I am a newly registered member. I am active on the boa forums since those are the snakes my husband and I have always had.
Well, we left the Myrtle Beach Reptile Expo and ended up picking up some ball pythons. These are the first ball pythons we have purchased and we are excited to have these balls. This first snake is just plain hot. He is a black pewter.
The second ball python we got was a pastel male. The breeder gave us this pastel since we officially purchased our first ball python ever. He said, "Everyone needs to have a pastel in their collection, so pick one out." It was really nice of him and how can you say no to a free snake from the same breeder that you already bought from?
We do have a rescued ball python that is pet quality. He has broken ribs and was hardly fed for the 6 years prior to us getting him. He is just in bad shape and it wasn't a snake I wanted to have but if I didn't take it, it was going to die since it was on its death bed. Now 4 years later, that snake seems to be as healthy as he could be but he will always remain a rescued ball.
However, these snakes we got yesterday are definitely the first balls we have ever purchased.
Hope you enjoy!
