Hi Folks, just wanted to share my new female ball... can't think of a name yet, for now i will call her "Snake 4". she is technically not my 1st since the 1st one died on me after 3 hours.. but i still consider this my 1st...

- She is normal right? I think she is normal unless you think otherwise...:yes:
- Also any idea of her age? she is a around 2ft long....
- i am feeding her 1 adult mouse every 7 days... any thoughts?
- is she looking healthy? too thin? dehydrated?? (yeah i am paranoid... like i said my 1st one died on my within 3 hours of my care... )

I got a few answers from the omnipresent LankyRob (Thanks Bro!!! i got pics below as i promised)... hehe. but i wanted to hear from the other guys.

I guess a 6 month to yearling regular. Really nice yellow on her side.

looks like a nice normal and about a year old or a little younger, you can move her up to rats i know most breeders start there BP on rat pinks and never feed mice.

She looks like a normal. Under a year. Switch her up to small/med rats. Nice looking girl. Good luck with her!

I can see 'em fine.. and seems like the others can.. maybe its your browser? Or maybe try reloading the page/trying later.

Anywho, she's beautiful. <3 Seems like all the others have put in their input, though. I'd say she's ready for small rats or a size lower than that.

here is nigma on the bed with the bp exploring his tank when i first got him. i changed all my reptiles setups a bit since then. nigma just started goin into shed the last few days, his eyes are clouding up. this will be his 2nd shed with me :) (on a different note i still need to name my bp lol)

Only guaranteed way to tell how old she is is to cut her open and count the rings.
Looks nice and healthy in every possible way, except maybe a bit stressed out from all the handling...
