why is that tank vertical in the pics. ball pythons are not a tree dwelling species! and you shouldnt be swapping caging for any of your animals.

i own a pet store, and the animals i have will change from week to week. tanks are emptied, animals replace those that are bought. While it is true that bp's are not an arboreal species, they will make use of branches, if they are available (as seen in the pictures). this cage is aprox 16''x2', 2' high. the tank is not standing irregularly, but is a vertical tank, use mostly for arboreals.

again, all tanks are sterilized before new animals are placed. We do buy animals from not-so-great caregivers, but do well with our stock. I should probably mention also that i have approximately 20 years experience with serpents, hots and nots. some of what we do may seem controversial, but our animals are well cared for.

thank you for your concern

Just throwing my opinion out there...'cause I can... ....

Given the pictures so far...I don't think the snake looks skinny at all...and certainly not malnurished. And while I never claim to be an expert, I will say this is the first I've heard of malnurishment causing an unusually light color. Not saying it couldn't happen, but just that I've never heard it before. Still...even if that happens, it seems a pretty big leap to make from the pictures offered.

Ben...I'm looking forward to more pictures to show off her color and overall look more truly. Then maybe she can get some rest.

Thanks Judy! Apparently it is not going to be warming up today, so I've just put a heater in the sun room to get it warm enough for a beauty shoot. I'll bring out a normal and a high yellow normal for comparison as well.

See you soon!

It will be interesting to see her after her shed, but with the current pictures posted, she does not look like a pastel to me.

Doh!

You forgot to get the belly shot and the eye close up - the two pictures hat would have answered the question best of all.

Those scars tell a sad story of the animals life though.

I sure did! I'll try to get a picture after she eats (she's about to take my hand off...).

She just shed, here is a top view picture. I'll take pictures of the belly and eyes a couple of days after she eats.

Thanks again!
