    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    1.2 Coastal Carpet Pythons
    Mack The Knife, 2013
    Lizzy, 2010
    Etta, 2013
    1.1 Jungle Carpet Pythons
    Esmarelda , 2014
    Sundance, 2012
    2.0 Common BI Boas, Punch, 2005; Butch, age?
    0.1 Normal Ball Python, Elvira, 2001
    0.1 Olive (Aussie) Python, Olivia, 2017

    Please excuse the spelling in my posts. Auto-Correct is my worst enema.

    Bunch of rookies! Male het Lav went off feed just before 2 breeding seasons ago. Bred that first season,female had a clutch. Stayed off feed til the next breeding season,and bred the same female(produced 2 Lavs). After that season was done,he started eating.

    ive got 5 snakes and only had them since September the male has eaten once Oct 18th other then that the only reaction we get from food is him hiding his head, or defensive strikes at everything that moves and never trying to latch on. our girls have all skipped a meal once or twice typically during shed, except both of our larger females refused this last week, cold snap out side and they at mid sized rats for the first time the week before.
