Hello all. I was referred here by BT at Reptile Radio. I have been keeping various snakes, mostly boa constrictors for many years but recently rescued a couple ball pythons. About a year ago a friend's father had a couple of ball pythons housed together and out of the blue one of them laid a clutch of i believe 5 eggs. He knew nothing about breeding reptiles and just let the female incubate the eggs and 3 of them hatched. After 2 weeks of not being able to get the babies to eat he brought them to me. Soon after I got all of them eating and healthy. The little runt of the three is still a bit of a problem feeder so i was able to keep him. Here is the runt i saved and decided to keep.



So then the other day the same guy asks me if I would take his female (the mother of the 3 i saved) because she is getting "too mean" lol. I guess she bit someone while feeding! That just sounded like a good feeding response to me. I really tried to educate him about feeding but i think he was just using that as an excuse to get rid of her. So I had to take her. Once i received her and saw her for the first time I found she had what looked to be several stuck eye caps with some damage to the eye so I'm really glad i took her. Beside the eye issue she seems very healthy. Here she is



And her poor eyes



She is a good eater and i got a good shed from her and her eyes look MUCH better but still looks like they are damaged. I'll post updated photos showing her progress.

SO being the boa genetics morph fiend i am the first thing i thought of was what kind of cool morph to put with my new proven female. Chris Gilbert and I was talking and he told me about a pastel litter err clutch his father had. BT told me they look good so i snatched up a male. What do you guys thing? Pretty nice for my first BP morph?









I guess he isn't as yellow as nicer pastels are but what do you think?. I'm still learning about the BP morphs. I suppose I'll have to look at several thousand more BP photos before i'll get an eye for them. Anyone here like Boas
