I do agree with you about needing patience. I was much younger when I had those ball pythons.
I think that there are some really neat morphs out there and that the balls are the most popular snake in captivity......they just don't do it for me.
I have had / kept just about everything and my desire is to continue working with the Borneo pythons.
Thanks for all your comments....and may you ALL be blessed with long lived and healthy snakes ( and lots of babies too ! )
