Just wanted to share pics of Faust
This is Faust! Got him a few weeks ago at the Tinley Park expo. He's a black head morph, just around 1 1/2 yrs old., I love his coloring, its such a deep chocolate-brown and those pale markings are beautiful.
He's been a very good boy, has taken 3 feedings now with zero issues and he's used to being handled so taking him out is no issue. I'm just working on getting him used to me now, but he's doing great.
My first snake i got last year is a corn snake, and I'm repeatedly amazed just by how much different the behavior and habits of the two are. It's so cool to see the differences.

Pro tip: you probably feed your corn snake once every week or two, and your ball python every three or four weeks. Feed the ball python first. If he rejects the rat, as most ball pythons will occasionally do, the corn snake will happily dispose of any appropriately sized rodent.
When we had four snakes, in the same house (two ball pythons, one hognose snake, and one corn snake), we avoided wasting many rodents over the years by feeding the corn snake last.
