leopard ball python?
today i was feeding my ball Lucy and some other herps. I think i accidently scared her with the mouse though. I feed her and just about every thing else that eats rodents FT. She went to strike but my hand sliped and shook it fast and it scared her and she jumped back. Then she refused to eat it or the other mouse i had out.
I put her back in her cage, i put her up on her branch and put the mouse on the other side of the cage near her 2nd hide box. About a few seconds later she had grabd the mouse, and pulled it up on her branch and ate it. Snakes dont do this...or do they?...or does she think shes a leopard? hehe
heres a pic of it

I think you should try and get her to Meow. Then you could call her Lucy the Leopard.

Even though I feed F/T rats to my BP he will sit on top of his water fall and lunge out at the rat and coil back around it on his waterfall. BP's are terrestrial snakes but sometimes its almost like they want to be a carpet or a green tree python. So leopard it is. LOL
Cheers,
Ryan

Well the juviniles ARE labeled as arboreal in many places, the adults however are too fat and clumbsy to be in the trees, kinda like burms.

Ball Pythons of all ages love to climb. They are however clumsy, which anyone that houses theirs with a lot of branches will agree. You can hear "thud" from time to time, but sure doesn't stop them  Burms are also excellent climbers, and will spend a fair amount of time up in the trees, even as adults, if given the chance. At the old location my work was at, we had a huge enclosure for three burms. At least 10' tall. Two of the burms (9', 11') would spend most of their time hanging out in the branches.

Three burms in the same large enclosure? I've seen this at zoos but God help anyone who suggests doing that sort of thing around here... I guess the jury is still out on keeping snakes together?

Hehehe... I said at my work, not my home  I work at Kris' Reptiles and Travelling Exotics Roadshow. Anyone that knows me, knows I am strongly opposed to housing multiple snakes together except for breeding.
