Greetings from Destiny! (and Rosca)
Hello all!
This is my lovely lady Rosca. She is [as you can tell] a bally. She is about six feet long and if I had to guess, about 9-10 years old. I say that because I've only owned her for going on three years; before that she was a classroom pet for roughly seven years, and before that, a rescue. If you knotted white lines in the pictures, she does have a few scars. Rosca was a rescue from Hurricane Katrina; after the storm many (wild) snakes were about and someone, seeing her, attempted to hack her up with a hoe / shovel. A volunteer fire fighter happen to see, recognize her species, and rescue her, and through some fate she came into the hands of my teacher, who later retired, gave her to my lacrosse coach, and then gave her to me.
I've developed an increasing interest in ballies as a hobby, and am currently planning to build her a wooden glass (or thermoplastic)-front tank approx 4x3x2, contrasting her current 40gal tank. I want to find a male bumblebee ball python baby to raise and breed her to.... one day! But for now I'm perfecting my handling of her. When I got her, I kept her as the teacher had kept her- with news paper in the bottom and nothing but some PVC pipes to climb on and a red tub of water. Recently I switched her to wood chips, got some decor, and made a hidey-hut from her oversized water tub. I thought some community input of care / habitat construction would be useful, and so here we are!
