    First BIG ball python

    My wife found someone listing a 10 pound ball on CL this week for $100. I was doubtful of course but still called the seller. Turns out it was an ex breeder with only the last of his collection left. This girl was his pet which he wasn't sure if he'd let go. I had my wife pick her up for me as I was at work. She ended up being 3,089 grams he said she was 4k a few months back. Not sure what to make of that as she isn't skinny by any means. As a plus she locked up with a spider and mojave male. She shed for me yesterday and has been coiling ever since so we'll see what happens.

    She's a really thick girl. I measured her with some string which I later stretched out on measuring tape. I was surprised to learn she was only 53''. And even bigger surprise was my last pick up a 1950 gram girl I also from CL (for $17!) is right at 53'' as well. I was told she had been on a 2.5 month fast and just started being active again. I had wondered how much weight she could pack on but never expected 1,000 grams! Her head is smaller than the BIG girls its easily seen by just a glance.


    Vegas (named by the seller) she nice and light with nearly no alien heads. I was told she hasn't eaten in a month yet never skips a meal outside of the breeding season.


    "66" I was told she only takes live mice. She took a thawed rat just days after I brought her home. She eats like a CHAMP.
