When I first got Moko he weighed 212 grams , now 6 weeks later he's 246, he's almost 11months old and looking great! I'm considering with a heavy heart to sell him. When I first got him I knew nothing about ball pythons and thought they'd make a great pet, being docile and such. This has proven to be true, they're amazing!! Unfortunately, I'm looking towards the future with plans of two different snakes maybe for breeding. I don't have the housing for three snakes, so it's either sell Moko and raise the female now until she's two, then get the male, or keep my first snake(Moko) and see what happens in the future.
This is a hard decision but a necessary one, three kids, so money and other future plans need to be thought of now. I know this should have been considered earlier, but like many others, the beauty of the bps kinda snuck up on me. He was sold as a male normal but he has some different patterns that point to a possible different line. I just recently had this brought to my attention. Oh, breeding arrangements have been made with a partner for housing the hatchings and splitting the clutch , in case anyone was wondering. Overall, a very hard decision and something for any new bp owner out there thinking about how amazing their brand new bp is, to consider.
