My New baby. Ivory Ball Python

[ralphdp21]

that is a matter of opinion. I have used aspen, coconut bark, and paper towels and didn't have a problem with either. I like the aspen and coconut bark because it keep and holds humidity well, but the paper towels make it MUCH easier to clean.

Did you pay for it? I think I saw where you adopted it so I assume you paid an adoption fee or was given to you for free. Hope you didn't pay Lucy prices for it.

i guess ill look around i think i may get some coconut bark, some one told me that was fine for her.
i did not pay a cent for her. the guy that i got her from is a rich kid and had to get rid of her fast, so he asked me if I wanted her. he gave me the snake and her entire habitat. the only thing that I need to pay for is her food. he told me that he paid $2000 for her.

Black eyeds go for 10k (last I saw on constrictors) and Ivories are at $4500 at NERD. I would call what you got one hell of a deal! Wish I had rich kids wanting to give away morphs...

Both of those prices are way out of date I saw Ivorys in Daytona for 1800.00.

Even so.. its a fantastic snake.

I took the Ivory price off NERD.

Ralph I have read about Desert Snow in many different threads on this site, almost anyone on this site will recommend, aspen, coconut, desert snow, newspaper or paper towel.

I personally wanted to use the desert snow but it is pricey compared to aspen, So i went with aspen in my 20gL tank, got a huge bag for 20$

I would say, if the desert snow is in your price range, then do it, it would look cool seeing your ivory girl disappear in it!!!!

Here's a thread on substrate, might help clear some questions up!

Heck I wouldnt care what the kid called it I would gladly call it mine. especially for that price lol. Most of the time when someone is given a morph its a pastel or one of the lower end snakes not an ivory. I will gladly take her off your hands lol.
