What Morphs am I dealing with?

How can you tell it had a bad shed? What is a good way to bump up humidity? I am very new to this.

I guess the question would be what does a normal shed look like?

the snake in the last picture had shed still stuck to her. usually you want a one piece shed without stuck patches...
"So long as the snake sheds completely without retained patches, eye-caps or partial/incomplete sheds requiring special attention or intervention you are doing just fine"


"Methods to raise humidity in the enclosure include but are certainly not limited to misting, placing the water bowl directly above the heat source on the warm end or covering screen lids with Con-Tac paper or plastic wrap, or using a humidifier. Do NOT sacrifice ventilation or otherwise contribute to stagnant air conditions! You can also add a humid hide, giving your python a humidity-rich spot it can hang out in whenever it wants."

you can also soak him/her to help aid in shedding.

Is it bad for them to eat inside their habitat? The pet store told me to not do that.

ya just to prevent cage aggression. dont worry people just get semi irratated answering the same questions no worries though. that baby normal is beauty though congrats.

not per say bad to feed them in their tanks but sometimes the snake can confuse your hand for a snack and strike. so if you only have 2 ball pythons i suggest feeding them in a seperate tank or bin. however when you have a lot of snakes it becomes time consuming to feed them all in separte bins. personally i feed mine in their homes (then again i have over 10 snakes) but its not a bad idea to feed them in a seperate tank or bin.

Thank you for the compliment. I bought the small ones because I thought it looked different than the usual. The other I got on a chance meet. I am happy with both though, but semi disappointed that I don't have anything special that would breed very interesting babies. I really want an albino, but dont want to pay the amount asked for them. How do people come out with piebalds?

Holy crap I just realized your from Humboldt County! So am I! My name is Gabe and Im from Scotia where do you live in Humboldt? Do you breed them?

thats tight. not yet I will next season. my girls are almost grown but not yet. i will be producing some very interesting babys when i do though. very happy with my clan. if you dont wanna spend the money order some hets on the internet. like a pair of het albinos. or a pair of het pies and wait for them to mature and hope they prove out.

This is debatable. I'm in the camp that for 99.99% of captive snakes, feeding inside the cage will not result in "cage aggression". A lack of interaction, a stressful environment, and an snake's individual personality are the biggest factors in how amenable a snake is to handling.

Ok what is exactly a het?
