Very nice! I was lucky enough to see a yearling cinnamon ball at the convention, and imo they look their best when their little dots come through.

I'm starting to like a lot of ball python morphs but I don't think I could handle another bp that is so stress-prone all I have to do is breathe on it and it goes off food for 6 months....

Ooh very pretty! I'm not a big bp fan but I really like these colors.

Try finding one already established on F/T, the feeding issues are one of my biggest reasons for not having one too, though.

I have to disagree with you. Ball pythons are just not a completely hands on pet. I have one right now that is up for sale. I would only recommend her to a breeder because she's a little more timid and wouldn't take to handling on a regular basis well I don't think.

Then that's probably where we differ. I like to handle my snakes, even if it's just once a week. As it is, I never handle my bp and I have to plan each and every cage maintenance day around his scheduled feeding day. If I take him out of his tub, it takes him at least 2 days to settle enough to take food but I also can't wait much longer than 7 days because his bedding will become dry, requiring another brief handling session to maintain it. And all I do is stick him in one of his hides on the floor and he stays hidden the whole time. Each and every move I've made has put him off food for 6-8 months, so I'm just worried about all the stress being too much for him. The first 5 years I had him, he was a dream and never missed a meal but ever since I moved for the first time he's been off and on food and I have to step on egg shells to maintain any period of time where he is eating. I just don't think I could have another snake like that. :/

That's not the snakes fault though and you're blaming the entire species.

The snake was fine for 5 years. You made changes and now it's not as good of a feeder. Something is off most likely and I doubt it's your fault. Probably something so small you don't even notice it.

Hopefully it gets better.

The plan is to cross my male cinny banana fire with my female fire so I cant have super fires. I love the look of super fires and a couple of my friends were wanting them too.

I was never really into ball pythons much, I got a boa for my first.
My cousin breeds bps, ( he's where I got my boa from) and I go there every weekend and I just started to like them more and more.
Now I have quite a few and probably coming home this weekend with a 3 gene nanner and a mojave pied LOL.

We're pretty excited lastnight found 8 eggs from his hypermelanistic cinnamon pairing. Can't wait to see those babies.

**Minkness** · 07-28-15, 02:09 PM

Yeah....I agree with the BPs growing on me lol. I NEVER wanted one and now I kinda love them and want more, even if they do stress a bit easily. Too bad I'm in a reptile abstinence plan....lol

Neat! Got pics of the hypermelanistic cinnamon?

Who is your cousin? Are they in Ontario or another Province? I know lots of people lol. Or at least who they may be.

That's how they work! Ask Lori. She'll tell you all about how the BP addiction grew on her. She will most likely blame me for most of it.
