I recently decided to downscale my geckos and get into ball pythons a little. (Even did some gecko-for-bp trades!) Thus far I have 1.0 Lesser, 1.1 Pastels, 1.1 Het Clowns and 1.1 Normals.

Anyway, I snapped some quick pics today and thought I'd share them. The only one absent is my little normal male.

Pastel Female: Produced by (our very own) Bruce Whitehead and acquired in a trade via a mutual friend of ours.


Pastel Male: Also produced by Bruce Whitehead and acquired in a trade. He came to me with some stuck shed (can still see some) but he seems to be doing alright now. I give him one good shed and he'll be looking a lot better!


Lesser Male: Produced by Outregius Reptiles and acquired in a trade. He should be ready to breed this season! Exciting stuff.


Normal Female: Unknown origins on this girl. I got her in a trade. I'm still trying to get some more info on who produced her and her age. She's almost 1900 grams though so if I can validate her age she just may have a date with the lesser male! Great personality on this one too.


Het Clown Male: Produced by Strictly Balls and acquired this past weekend while attending the Canadian Reptile Breeders Expo in Toronto.


Het Clown Female: Produced by Strictly balls and totally unrelated to the above male. Also acquired this past weekend.


I'm quite excited with all these ball pythons! I want to limit the amount of morphs I have to a select few and work on very particular projects. I'm not in a hurry though and am not doing it for money, so I don't mind taking my time. (Thus why I started out with het clowns instead of clowns, heh.)

I had the chance this weekend at the big expo in Toronto to chat with some of the BHB crew including both Brian and Kel. Awesome guys who just cemented the urge to go for the projects I want and not worry about what those around me are doing.

I hope to add both pinners and enchis to my group eventually as I would like to do some lesser/pinner crosses and mix the enchi in with both projects.
