.... I'll clarify, so there aren't any misunderstandings with my topic title! Haha.
My boyfriend and I are picking up our first Ball Python after our vacation in a couple of weeks. For the past year my boyfriend has been supportive, but disinterested, in reptiles. That was, until I convinced him to let me get a Ball Python ("And that's the last one, right?" he says...) Well, he confided in me the other day that he was really excited for the Ball Python, and admitted he was only uncomfortable with my other reptiles because he's a snake guy, and I'm a gecko girl. So it all makes sense.
But, he has been intimidated slightly with the concept of how big the Ball Python might get. Size in grams just doesn't give him a visual, I suppose.
If you guys have a moment, could you possibly post some photos of your Male ball pythons with some size reference? Even just someone holding him, or near objects that give it some scale? I really want to show him so that he can understand exactly what I mean when I tell him that this python won't get as big as some females he's seen. And that way I can show him the translation between grams and size (roughly)
Right now he's at work, but I plan to show him this thread if there are some responses.
And to avoid further jokes on the topic... I'll just phrase it like this:
If you have a moment, would you be so kind as to post some pictures of your adult male snakes?
