The wife and I got our first Ball Python today. We ordered a couple weeks ago from Dave Green and waited to ship until yesterday due to the weather in this part of the country. As an added bonus she shed in route (we were warned she may shed in transit) so we got to see her for the first time in her prime. She is an albino lavender and is quite the looker. 216g and 21 or 22 inches. Submitting pics from phone in lower posts.

Fantastic pick up! Those lavender albinos only get better as they get older. Congrats!

I tried feeding her today since she seemed pretty relaxed yesterday (and she shed in shipping so im sure she hasnt eaten in a couple weeks) and she didnt even hesitate to eat lol. Pretty excited she is eating so soon after arriving!

ignore the gloves I was painting and didn't want the snake on my paint covered hands.

She's an albino lavender, lavender shows on her neck but won't come in full force till she's older. Assuming Mac is your profile pic I like his pattern.

dear bad, yep! that's mac. if anyone has an idea of what kind of albino he is,let me know. they just called him an albino ball when i bought him but i was wondering if there's more to his genetics than that.

Probably just an albino ball python. If he has more you'd have to randomly select morphs to breed him to and see the results.

Example, breed it to an ivory. If multiple ivories pop out then he's an albino yellowbelly.
