So I've wanted to start a progression thread for my first two ball pythons for a while, and I figured now that they're settled in and eating on a consistant basis I could start it.
These are my two babies.
My Bumblebee female Valek
My Super Pastel Lesser male Pennywise
They're both wonderful snakes and I love them to pieces. They've been doing well since I got them but their care will be improving. I've already started saving for my reptile basics 3 tub rack. I can't wait to move them to it when I buy it in a few weeks. In the meantime they're surviving well.
They've also been gaining weight since I got them. Valek came to me at 638 grams and is now up to 791. Pennywise was at 935 and is now at 986. I am happy with their weight gains.
I expect Valek to get quite large but I think Pennywise won't get much larger. He is 6 years old, and a proven breeder. Valek is growing quite fast. I'm only giving her one small rat a week so I'm surprised she's gained 153 grams in 2 months.
Today happened to be feeding day!
All in all satisfied with their first progression update! Hope to have many more to come especially as my girl grows!
