Got this little guy and so far so good. He isn't afraid at all, don't bite and the best part he eats :)

I've tried Ball pythons in the past and they either wouldn't eat or bit. This one seems to fit the bill perfectly for me. Only problem so far is a bit of stuck shed on his head at the moment. But I've adjusted the humidity and put a moist hide in his cage.

I named him Bob.
Not a great photo but it's hard taking photos of snakes while your holding the camera in the other lol.
He is a normal but I like the normal looks :)

Nice try...Normals are the backbone of the python regius world. Everyone who cares about, keeps, or breeds ball pythons should have at least one normal or "wild" type ball . Grats. He looks amazing!

I don't think everybody who cares about ball pythons should have a normal. Ball pythons were bred to look the way their keeper wants them. I own a normal, because in my opinion they look better. But I would never shame someone for only owning a nice looking bumblebee or pied ball python.

Guess we have to agree to disagree! Simple.
