Hello From A Python Nerd!

[GhostEchoes]

Hello everyone!

My name is Bekah but I go by GhostEchoes on Social. I have been keeping reptiles for about 3 years now consistently, but I fell in love with them when my parents got me my first Leopard Gecko when I was 12. Back then I wasn’t allowed to have snakes (stupid societal fears) but now that I’m on my own I have started dipping my toes into the world of snakes and dont want to go back. My hopes are to become a hobbyist ball python breeder, with the help of my wife who has been around snakes since she was a kid and shared her room with an 18 foot Burmese Python growing up.

Enough about me, let me introduce you to the kids!

Hubble is my late ‘18 hatchling normal male ball python. I got him as a little guy, and he’s now pudged up and is easily pushing 450 grams. He is a sweet, sweet boy and enjoys laying under his log and watching everything go by outside his enclosure.

Oberon is my mid ‘17 hatchling pied male ball python who is our newest acquisition. He’s around 800 grams, about 60% white and is so far one of the nicest and most docile snakes I’ve ever met. He’s been a dream for my wife since she was young, and when we saw him at our local reptile shop we couldn’t say no.

Salazar is my ‘14 or ‘15 hatchling amelanistic male Corn Snake, and is by far my problem child. I am his fourth home in just 4-5 years of life and I’m not sure if it’s because people just got tired of caring for him, or if it’s because he’s nippy. Like, really nippy. Some times I think he read the species description of a cobra instead of a Corn Snake, because there’s nothing docile about him.

Last but not least is Perry. She’s an early ‘17 hatchling amelanistic Leopard Gecko. She was purchased from a local PetSmart (yes, yes I know) but she just had this magical little personality about her. She is the most full of personality, funny and entertaining little gecko that I’ve ever met.

Hopefully y’all stuck through all that! Thanks for having me, and I look forward to learning more and hanging out here on the forum.
