I figured I needed at least one BP. He was given to me by a friend, and he came with the name Monty. He isn't any kind of special morph, just cute-n-tiny, and really good at curling into a ball! ;)

Cute but stressed, you must handle it more. Watch out for strikes :D ...probably will try to strike a hand that will be moving too fast in front of it's mouth. Be sure to offer multiple hide places.

Thanks for your comments everyone.

Those pictures were taken just when he arrived to my home. I had just finished setting up his tank properly, and decided to snap a few pictures before letting him get used to his new habitat. He is normally a very friendly and outgoing little guy, and hardly ever balls up, if ever. The only problem he has had is refusing food, but then again he IS a ball python. :D (this was long beforre I got him) Please keep the advice coming, this will help educate others if they encounter a ball python that lives up to their name. :)

LOL -- that's one very talented "ball" python ;) What a cutie... Congrats on the new addition!
Why are they only cute when they ball up as babies?! Then as adults it only makes me mad!
Cute tail on that one!

I cannot agree with you katt, something i enjoy very much in Balls, is that even when they are adults their anatomy remains the same (thin, slender neck-like most venomous snakes).
You cannot say that with most other spp of non venomous and larger spp.
I looove snakes with thin and slender necks
