Rescue Ball Python

[jmugleston]

While at a recent reptile show, a buddy dropped this off at my booth. He didn't know the history past it was purchased at least a year earlier and it was het for something. When I received him, he was so skinny I wasn't sure if I could revive him. Turns out he has an amazing feeding response. Within weeks he was gaining so much weight you couldn't tell he was ever sick. Now he's a plump little ball python. I thought his lack of color was related to his poor condition when I received him. Now a number of meals and sheds later he's still quite a stunner. These pics are a few weeks old. I'll update them soon.

Beautiful coloring on this guy. Great blushing too.

Very intriguing light head, blushings and light coloration. Hope he proves out to be something in the future. Dinkin time

Neat! keep feeding that little guy and see if he'll get big for you! He's certainly a very handsome animal and it is great he seems to be doing so well for you! Kudos! he looks a little thinner than I expect a ball to be, but he looks amazing and I'm sure a ton better than when you got him! Congratulations

He's quite a bit larger now. This was taken not long after his arrival (only about 1 month after he started eating). He's quite a bit larger now and taking f/t medium rats each week. I probably won't pair him this year, but he'll be more than ready to go next year.

I am thinking vanilla maybe?
