    My first ball python

    Hi,
    This is my first post on this forum and it is actually about my first snake. It is a enchi het clown ball python. We named it enchilada lol.
    I would say he is about 2,25 feet and has some beautiful yellow colours. I keep him in a 20 gallon for now but I have a diy 150 gallon plywood aquarium that I plan to do a bioactive enclosur for him once he grows up a bit. I bought it at exotic addicts in blainville. Excellent service recommend them a ton if you're in montreal area.
    I'm glad to join this community and if you guys have advice for me I'll gladly listen to them. I have a ton of experience fishkeeping but it's actually my first snake/reptile.

    Hey We have a few people here that keep fish too- so look them up when you get a chance.

    As far as posting pics here, this should help: https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...-Post-Pictures

    I'm loving the name you gave your snake- it's nice to know I'm not the only one that thinks of enchiladas when you say "enchi"!

    For a BP to go from a 20 gal to 150 gal enclosure is a HUGE difference- not all BPs seem to like that much space, unless it's made "cozy" with lots of furnishings. But as you said, that's off in the future some time, anyway. I wonder if it might help a snake to feel less scared & "lost" if they got multiple short visits to the new enclosure before they actually move into it??? I honestly think that's what I'd do.

    Think I figured it out lol.Thanks a lot. So here is my male enchi het clown And for the 150 gallon I'll put a lot of plants and hides so I think when he'll get bigger it could be good. He'll be in a really calm area of the house.

    Re: My first ball python

    Spectacular specimen for sure. Thanks for sharing the pics! I wouldn’t be surprised if there is something more going on with him genetically. Or at least the type of clown that produced this guy. Wow!
    Stay in peace and not pieces.

    Damn nice, are you saying that because of the pattern or the colours ? And I woulb maybe be interested in breeding him in the long run, what morphs for a female do you think would make a great combo with this guy
