Re: Splat, the Ball Python

Nice pics
He(/she?) must be feeling very ok to be eating the day after he arrived. Ball pythons are notorious non-feeders right?

I think they're more like seasonal feeders, with exceptions.

Re: Splat, the Ball Python

well many baby ball pythons are notorious for non-eating, adult balls are definately seasonal feeders, many going off feed between november and february-ish.

Re: Splat, the Ball Python

splat is hammering f/t hoppers the moment I open up the tub! its so cute the way she kills her already dead food she had two more today

I dont know the sex on this snake, but we are going to call her a girl until otherwise noted!

I am trying to pack some weight on since she was a bit on the thin side upon arrival. Already seeing much improvement!
