Yeah, that is about normal for ball pythons.
If you want to see fat though, check out blood pythons. Those beasts are about as wide as your thigh but only 5-6 feet long0 -

Anyone else hit up Repticon in Baltimore today?
Since you appear to be at least somewhat local to me, if you are ever looking for anything feel free to drop me a line. I have things available now and then and I can also point you to a few other local breeders with solid reputation.0 -

Thanks! I have things ok right now but would love to build my own racks and definitely be breeding down the line...got my pairs lined up but just gotta get first pair to weight and do more research.
Those egg eaters are pretty neat!!!
I have built a couple of racks and it is a decent learning experience (still use one of them in my quarantine room). That said, there is certainly something to be said for buying one.
Best advice I can offer you on getting animals up to weight is to feed your females as often as they will eat even if that means you are feeding every day, especially for the first year. Because once they hit that 1000g wall and decide to go on a hunger strike you will lose your mind LOL
Good looking pick ups. That Albino is very nice

Yeah, Mojave makes some nice combos. Truth be told, I rather prefer their combos over others in the hetBluEL group; The LeopardMojave and MojaveGHI are really nice and I hope to fold them into my Albino project at some point. I am pairing my EnchiMojave male to a Lesser and a PhantomPin this year so I hope to see some good stuff. If I hit the EnchiPinPotion I think it will be a world first0

anyone else have a BP on a hunger strike? ugh my girl is always the best eater and she has refused food going on two months now. she's done it this long one other time so I'm sure she's bound to give in soon but it always worries me0

That is not terribly uncommon this time of year. As long as she looks healthy and is not drastically losing weight I would say you are fine. I once had a ball go on a 11 month strike and he was fine0 -

Worst part is I buy live and am now taking care of a rat that she won't eat lol0 -
Oh man! I'm pumped for you and definitely will be in your ear with questions about breeding!!!
Knock on wood...no hunger strikes here
No worries, hit me up any timemichaela_g09 wrote: »Worst part is I buy live and am now taking care of a rat that she won't eat lol
I tried PMing you but got some weird error. I can offer you a somewhat delicate solution to the live rat issue. Try PMing me and I will see if I can just reply0 -
So I ran across this funny picture I have in my album. This is when scenting goes wrong haha. I have a picky hognose that I used the anole to scent pinkies for and the little sucker got ahold of the pinky. Lol0 -

O how adorable. I love them, beautiful creatures. Have looked into getting one myself but my boyfriend concerned it may eat the cats.0

Get one of the smaller species. The three most popular pet species are corn snakes, hognose and ball pythons. Corns max out around 4' and the diameter of a quarter. Hoggies might hit 3' and are not much bigger around than corns. Balls also tend to max out at 4' (with the rare "giant" maybe hitting 6') and are only about as big around as a soda can.
Really, there are only maybe 5 species that could get large enough to eat the cat (Burms, retics, anacondas and large specimens of BCC/BCI and carpet). And, if you are keeping them properly the snake and the cat should never come into contact with one another. Heck, my cat likes to hang out in the snake room (she is nearly hairless and likes the warmth) and I have more trouble with her going after the snakes.0 -
