I was having issues with people seeing the pics in my last thread (snake eggs 2017), so thought I'd just start a new one. Hopefully you all can see them now! This is my latest clutch of ball python babies - 3 normal/wildtype and 1 Mojave. Not good odds, but they're healthy and cute as heck imo. Btw, they have all had their first sheds, but only one has eaten so far; and these pictures are from shortly after hatching, before they had shed.



Photo shoot with mom (left - normal) and dad (right - Mojave)


The Mojave


And one of the normals, showing you why they're called BALL pythons!

Oh, I figured out the problem (I think) - the album was set to private! I just changed it to public, but if the individual pics still don't show, here's a link to the album:

Cute! These guys have beautiful colors. It's hard to tell the size of the babies from the picture though.

That's it-I see them now!


They're cute little critters. I like the family portrait. Gives a sense of the size.

Here - this should give you a better perspective! They're still smaller than my hand, at least when curled up.

They usually take about 2-3 years to reach full size - but males can breed as young as like 5-6 months old, while females need to wait until they're full grown (general rule is 3+ years old). So yeah, they've got some growing to do!
