Hi there all and Ball Python lovers:

YAHOOOOOO is just as simple as I can put it. What am I talking about, well that is easy. And it is great news too. I mean I heard so many stories mostly in the negative about Ball Pythons and some of the complicated situations people get into owning this species, everything from care to feeding and breeding. Well caring and feeding so far are working out for me. That' s right people most of those stories are myths.

Here is what I am so happy about:

1. Owning 2 pairs.
2. 2 pairs that look and act alert and very healthy.
3. 2 pairs that do there business (washroom thing) with no complications.
4. 2 pairs that look like they enjoy being handled.
5. This is a biggie 4 Ball Pythons taking frozen thawed large hopper mice within seconds of presentation.........they saw it and like in 3 seconds striked and started swallowing without hesitation.

I gotta say I am very proud of these 4 Ball Pythons.

Here are a few pictures I just took minutes ago to show them ripping into there food. Hope you enjoy the pictures, because as everyone knows I enjoy taking them.

Congrats! I wouldn't go so far as to call all the stories myths based on the fact that the 4 you have had for a short while haven't given you any problems. I can't even count how many I have worked with and more often than not they presented "problems". Even the ones in my personal collection. My 4.5' male was a great feeder for the first 8 months, then he ate whenever he wanted to for a year or so, and now its been 10 months and counting since his last meal. My 2002 female ate like crazy until her winter fast of 3 months, and now feeds sporadically. My little wee baby girl... from the time she hatched to her first meal: 3 months. So just say your lucky ;)

Congrats on the little ones Tony! Very nice looking bunch you've got there. I particularly like the last one Zephir, looks like he/she has alot of striping starting from the neck down. Is that a full stripe or does it break where her body is overlaping in the pic? Either way they are all outstanding and I wish you luck with them in the future and hope they make great breeders some day :)

Cheers, Kyle~

KYLE WALKINSHAW:

The striping is in 3 parts but very solid for most part of it.
