Description
Sooo, we went to a reptile show and bought 2 new baby ball pythons. ^_^;;;Had to take multiple pictures because the wanted to explore too much lol.
3 of these guys were previously owned; only 2 are new. Remember ball pythons are very social snakes; we've heard them referred to often as children's pythons because of how gentle they are. There are always the exception, but that's why it's best to handle a snake first before purchasing. Also, if you try to handle your snake while it's hungry, you might be bitten, so it's good to keep them on a good feeding schedule. At least once a week, more for babies! All of these are considered "exotics" because of their color morphs, and won't be found in generic pet stores. So you'd either have to find them at reptile shows, or purchase from breeders.
We have:
1 Pastel (Pence) owned by Mono - he's the big boy.
1 Piebald (Relic) owned by Mono from Peter Khal- he's a low white, but he's the smaller dark one.
1 pale albino (Heidi) owned by Ciara from Peter Khal - She's missing an eye, but we think she is a cross between an albino with something else, with the way her markings look. Due to her imperfections she's never been a good eater, and we don't think she's going to get much bigger than she already is.
1 regular albino (Citrus) owned by Mono - He was purchased at the show yesterday and is very social.
1 bumblebee (Sniper) owned by Ciara - He too was purchased at the show yesterday. He's the one with the crazy looking markings that are more lines than blotches.

I always wanted a snake but my mom hates them but she only likes black racers because they won't hurt you. :3

Wow! They're so beautiful! :3
I love pythons! XD I was going to get one when I was much younger but then we found out that their enclosures are really expensive and that they cost a bit to keep.
I can't remember if this is true (probably my dad telling me this so I won't ask for any more pets) and I still want a python!

Yeah, they used to be thousands if I'm not mistaken? Also may I ask how much your pastel was when you got it?

Monoyasha In reply to max22244 [2012-04-18 23:16:31 +0000 UTC]
Yes they used to be. My pastel was $100. Pastel and albinos are some of the less expensive unique coloration's

That's great! Males also tend to be cheaper, from what I've seen online looking up prices here and there, so that would be a good price for a pastel. I might also try to get a Enchi or Spider, would you happen to know about how much those go for? Sorry for all the questions x3

i have not looked into those colorations. you can find the prices online from most breeders, but be warned Enchi's can be snappy and tigers too.

I have one ball python. His name is Salazar I love him but hate how whenever people ask about him, the first thing they ask is "Does he bite?"
I hate how snakes get a bad rep.
But yours are gorgeous. Thanks for sharing

Just to throw this out there, you really should quarantine new snakes for a period before putting them near your other ones. You never know what sicknesses they might be carrying, and while it's pretty likely they're perfectly healthy, there's also the chance that they aren't. Even if purchased for a reputable breeder, accidents and infections can happen. A single mite could be missed in a once-over.
That said, those are some lovely snakes, and I'm jealous! Albino and bumblebee are both on my wishlist.

So pretty! bumblebe and killerbee ball pythons have to be my absolute favorite next to the blue eyed leucistic... unfortunately I don't have the 3 grand to drop on one of those.
You have some very nice looking snakes
