Need Information on Humpback Ball Pythons

[reptilerescuevolunteers]

Hi everyone!!! We just registered and are new here, but was looking for some information on a humpback ball python. Basically if their care was any different, type of decorations for the tank, etc. We would appreciate any information that we could get!!! Thanks!!!

He came in as a rescue, and we were told he is a humpback ball python. Basically, looks like a camel in snake form.....We have never heard of a humpback ball, that is why we are doing the research!!!

Can you give us some size(weight length) info? I have never heard of an humpback ball python. The only two ways I could think a ball python having a ''humpback'' is that it is either ovulating or has a broken spine. do you have a picture?

Where you at Adam?....ha

I can get a pic if I can my camera to work.....but my name isn't Adam...sorry...I'm just concerned about this snake. It is supposed to be a he and he is about 4 1/2- 5 feet long. This old man had him and the man died so the wife gave him to the rescue after the family wouldn't take him....

he does look like the pics but he has a hump in his back about midways that looks like the hump on a camel....

how long have you had the bp? do you know how long it has had the hump? was it housed with other ball pythons?

the more detail the better we can help a pic would reallly help

We just got him yesterday and he was housed alone....I know the old man did get him out and played with him, but not sure of much of anything else....I'm trying to get my software installed for my camera, so hopefully i can give you a pic...

a pic would be great. Where are you located?
