got a new BP

[TeaNinja]

got a little BP to go along with nigma. today was interesting, i brought the little guy/girl home and set up his viv and put him in it and he seemed alittle stressed and puffy so i left him alone. then i look just a little while ago, prolly around 3:15am for me and both the nocturnal snakes are out and about in their cages. i went over to nigma's viv and opened the door because he was near it, and for the FIRST time ever since i've had him he smelled at me for a second then came out to me. it was the first time i've ever had to not physically reach in his viv and take him out to handle. i thought it was awesome. i snapped a few quick pics then put nigma back a few minutes ago and left them alone. :)

I used to do books on my corn snakes aquarium. Couldn't find a snapping lid to save my life. Beautiful snake :)

You got the heat lamp in the middle? Better to move it to one end so that there is a temperature gradient.

Beautiful snake tho!

he ate around 5 days ago and i just got him today, so i'll probably feed him in a few days once he's settled in.

haha, funny thing is i moved it around to have it on the right side before i even read this :) i just had it that way because only 1 side of the lid actually fits into the slot, so i have to weigh the other side down until i get a new lid. i just flipped things around and have the books in different spots with the light on the right.

sounds good mate.

my friend had 2 ball pythons that he gave to his brother a few years ago, and the big one's name was thor. so i've decided to go with something else from norse gods, these are my maybe's.

■Magni – Son of Thor and the giantess Jarnsaxa. Will inherit Thor’s hammer Mjollnir with his brother Modi after Ragnarok.
■Modi – Son of Thor and the giantess Jarnsaxa. Will inherit Thor’s hammer Mjollnir with his brother Magni after Ragnarok.
■Vor – Goddess who knows all.
■Skadi – Goddess of Winter and of the Hunt

i kinda of like vor or skadi (skaw dee)

[NennaMeerkat]

Personally I like Vor

Congrats on the new little BP! She/he appears to be quite active and is very cute!

When you can, I'd try to cover half the lid with a damp towel or foil to help hold humidity in.

i got my Ball Python from my science teacher who got it frrom a student whos parents didnt want it anymore.......
his nam,e is kinko
do you think tht when i was feeding him last( in a plastic bin with air holes in the lid and lid on) that it scared him cuz i left my radio on a couple inches away....
If tht echoed would it scare him enough so he wouldnt eat......

Possibly, BPs are well known for being finicky when it comes to eating.

Nice little BP you've acquired. And, of course, I love seeing pics of Nigma ;)

What about Vidar for a name? He's a half brother to Thor, second in strength only to Thor, survived Ragnarok, and avenged his father's death - seems pretty badass. And, I think it sounds kind of gender neutral, though if you do have it sexed and it's female you change it to Vidara.

i like skadi.
but i like the norse names loki, baulder, and fenrir.

jormungonder is good too aka the world snake or world eater

[TeaNinja]

:) i went to grade school with a girl named freya. i thought about loki, but its too common. i'm prolly gonna go with Vor or Skadi, but i'm leaning on Vor. it has a nice sound to it. but at the same time Skadi being the godess of winter and THE HUNT, it almost makes sense O.o lol

i think the spots and the white stripe down the tail is cool lol.

Great pics, thanks for sharing.

Just as a side note, BPs will generally appear to be "calm" at most times. Make sure she/he gets some lone time as they are shy snakes and can get stressed fairly easily without showing any visible signs.

Have fun with the little cutie!

I love the "natural" BP look and the random patterns.
