Profile: Jasper

[DeesBalls]

Jasper is my newest snake, and the one im having the most problem with. very very nippy at first, but getting alot better. i can pick her up with out her stiking, but he will still stay in defensive position.. slowly he is getting better and she eats f/t mice witch im very happy about!!


he is in a 28qt sterilite tub with same heat and everything..

Looking sweet. You'll get him tame down soon. Just keep working at it.

Oh wow, love that light color~ What morph is that? Pastel? Or is he/she a really light colored normal?

he's a pastel. its one of my favorite BP morphs and i got him for a really good deal at a pet store, because "we can't sell this snake for full price" they said, so they marked it down over %50 lol. their loss is my gain.

when i get good pics with my phone her color is amazing, but with her being shy, i just have to snap a few fast with out flash or letting it adjust.. so they get blurry.. :(

[Sapphyr]

Ahhh. I have that same problem. Some of my animals won't hold still long enough for me to get a decent photo of them. Hate it when that happens ;c

and wow! What a great deal and what great luck you got xD

[mykee]

Nice looking pastel.
I think it's hy-larious that you glove a ball python though...

i know, i really didnt want people to see that. lol i never been bit, and dont want to be bit. i wear the gloves so IF i get bit i wont jerk away and hurt his teeth or rip them out... ( not bc it will hurt, just a normal reaction especially the 1st time. )

i initially thought it was a mojave or pastave... but very nice looking snake! :)

lol that would be a nice surprise. lol but im almost positive its a pastel.

im told that the males will brown out as they get older. ?

[emilie]

^ohh good question^ and hes beautiful, when I got mine his name was Jasper haha, but needless to say we changed it

[DeesBalls]

lol i really like that name, it almost went to my beardie, but i named him dexter instead... lol

he is calming down alot too, he dont stike at all, unless im putting him in his cleaning tub, its a huge 96 qt tub i have for cleaning i put them in there...

he will just get in a ball, i pick him up, still with gloves :( but when i hold him, he wont move just sit there.

slowly but sherly, hes getting better

[mld]

Gorgeous snake, love the name too!
Nothing wrong with gloves!

i was told the same thing... but i will love mine no less... very beautiful snake really! how much did you get it for?

[stephanbakir]

Good luck, hope he settles quickly, be a shame to hold a snake that pretty with an oven mit for long:P

lol i feel dumb with the gloves, but gives me overall confidence, i never been bit so i dont know what to expect... lol, and i got the name from the show Dexter, on showtime :)

same here, i dont care if he browns out, still a pastel... and i got mine at a heck of a deal.. it was originally $150, at a store, but they said that it wasnt a pastel and would have a hard time selling it for that... so they marked it like a normal, i got it for $60 and i am %100 posative it is a pastel.. :)


Good luck, hope he settles quickly, be a shame to hold a snake that pretty with an oven mit for long:P

lol hes getting there, if hes in the sticking position, i will give him a lil spritz of water, then i pick him up... not sure if that "cruel" or not, but its working lol

Don't worry about wearing the gloves if you're unsure of how the bite is. I've been bitten a couple of times by my oldest. It's more of a shock than anything. Like little pin pricks all at once.

Nice looking snake, BTW.

haha thanks.. im sure it wont hurt, i have been bit by a 180+ lb Rottweiller. (my fault) in the had/wrist area and broke a finger by it!! lol so im sure a lil bite by a baby BP wont hurt, its just going to be the initial schock and im scared ill pull away and hurt her teeth...

[DeesBalls]

well got Jasper out today, with the gloves again lol. but after about 4-5 min. in my hand....HE CRAWLED AROUND ON MY HAND!!!!! never has he dont this... i even let him crawl on the ground for about 6 min. i had him out for a total of about 15-18 min. and no stiking at all, but i did bump his head by accident and he got scared. very happy!!
