New Ball Python

[Rifurekutibu]

Getting a year old ball python tomorrow. Already handled him, and like most he's extreamly docile, even wore him as a collar. He's a dirty fire morph, with a very clear belly. Named Vincent, from FFVII. Can't wait!! Got his habitat all set up, to the proper temp/humidity. My friends got a normal female, so we're gunna eventually attempt to breed 'em, get cute little fire/norm babies. ^.^

Just excited and had to let people know! I'll keep updates to those who care.

kewl

Show some pictures. We'd like to see.

[Rifurekutibu]

He's home, now just anxiously waiting the "Hands Off" stage so he can settle. I get pics up ASAP, got to get a USB to transfer the pictures to my comp.

[Rifurekutibu]

Here he is, only got two pictures of him I took before putting him in his new habitat, gotta leave him be for about a week now.

[Rarilue]

wow, patterns look pretty cool

[Rifurekutibu]

I know, ain't he a BA?! He's been sleeping on top of his hide, instead of in it though, so thinking about getting him a couple of smaller, easier access ones.

[👺 Usiel]

Haha that's awesome. Really cool. Great pattern indeed.

[Rifurekutibu]

Got him two identical smaller hides today, and he's finally using them. He was a little unhappy about it though at first, since I had to move him off of his old one. Gunna try feeding him tomorrow, but don't think he'll except it, being he's still getting use to the place.

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

I love snakes. Wish I had one of my own, this one looks really pretty.

He's gorgeous. I want one x-x

[Rifurekutibu]

Thanks for the compliments, wasn't what I expeted to be my next pet, and even though it's only been a few days, I'm glad I went with him. Being that he's a male fire, he was quite expensive when compared to a normal morph, almost $100 more. He cost $180 taxes included. But yeah I love his patterns, Especially his back half where he has those ovals that blend into a line.

[Rifurekutibu]

Damn it, right when I get to start handling him, Vincent has to go into shed, so now I need to leave him be until he's finished. So sad, it's also been a challenge to keep the humidity up in his cage, got it now though.

[Rarilue]

weird question, ya going to keep his sheding or anything?

[Rifurekutibu]

Yeah actually, if he sheds completely I'll probably keep it, good way to keep track of how much he's growing.

A python once constricted around my neck at a reptile park once. Almost died. It was awesome, thank god for the handlers.

[Rifurekutibu]

Scary, you happen to know what kind of python?

[Rifurekutibu]

Vincent completly shed today, no left overs to take care of. All shiny in his new scales, I'll post a pic on Sunday when I can finally take him out of his enclosure.

[Rarilue]

take a pic of the old skin too o.o

I was like 5, I 'unno. I don't even remember it. I was just told about it a few years ago. Sorry. I think it was a big one though.
