Some of my other interests...

I took some pictures of the snakes the other day and thought I'd share

Jonas and Bunny (normal ball pythons, 9 and 6 yrs old respectively)



Porscha (Pastel ball python, 2 yrs old) in the bath



Porscha out of the bath



Papaya (amel. corn snake, 4 yrs old) with a lighter for size

Your snakes are sweet . Do the pythons all live in one tank ? are they all friends ?

So cool. What/how often do you feed them ?

[Keri]

The two normals live together, the pastel is in another tank, and the corn in another. I'd like to get a Boaphile tank system or something simmilar in the future.

If placed near each other none show aggression, they are pretty mellow. Jonas and Bunny are always curled up together

I was feeding them frozen/thawed small rats that I was breeding but they took up too much space & time so I'm trying African Soft Furred rats now, they are about 2x the size of a mouse and don't smell like rats and mice. We'll see how that goes.

I can't imagine it would be easy to breed frozen rats..

Nice looking snakes... even if they give me the heebee geebees.

Maybe not, but then again Mr. Rat would never have to worry about ED or Performance Anxiety.

The snakes dont give me the heebie geebees but feeding them the rats or mice sure would.

thats a pretty nice pastel ball. I've got 2 ball pythons as well, had them for about 7 years now. They are great snakes. Nice to see that there are some other reptile nerds on here! I've got the balls, a beardie, a ornate uro, some leopard geckos, a box turtle, some red foot tortoises, a yellow foot tortoise, some axoltls, and some veild chameleons and a new baby blue tounge as of yesterday.

I didn't realize you can feed snakes dead food. For some reason I thought they had to be alive. If this is the case could you feed them beef heart or whatever?
Very cool snakes by the way.

I too have also always thought it had to be live food. Beautiful snakes
