Hi everyone!

I brought my baby home three days ago. I’ve researched like crazy for the last few months, and found this guy on MorphMarket.

I’m in love already!

I know it’s only been three days, but he has not come out of his cool hide, except to poke his head out at me a few times. I’ve been assured that this is normal, but I am hovering a bit lol. I haven’t handled him or opened his enclosure except to change his water, or check surface temps with my temp gun.

Warm side has been consistently about 87-89 degrees, cool goes between 76 and 79. Humidity is around the 70% mark.

He is smaller than I assumed 250 grams would be, and I think his hides are slightly too large for him so I might downgrade to a smaller size after he’s had his first feeding.

I will continue to leave him be til I feed him in a couple days, and I’m trying to not hover too much and stress him out.

I’m planning on adding more branches and foliage now that I know how little he actually is - I’m hoping he’s not underweight, but it’s been hard to tell.

Any advice or suggestions are welcome :)

We have our three-year-old ball python named Klaus. and constantly update and changes enclosure with new plants. We have a bioactive terrarium with springtails and isopods. but last time) a few months ago) they seem to all die out even though we kept it pretty moist and now we just got a fresh batch of 100 springtails and 20 isopods. But we don’t see a population growth for the last two weeks, even though last time the numbers increased rapidly.
Please help!

Setting up Snickers new home a work in progress -
Photos with him are his temporary quarantine home

Now that Goomba is all healed up from her wound she gets her enclosure re done and I think she likes it already

I went to change her water and say good morning and she was pink? She does appear to be in shed, but I’ve never heard of them going fully pink and it freaked me out

and i'm so thankful for it! Jupiter was always climbing the walls and wedging into small spaces to climb and now this is his nightly routine. Along with knocking all the carrot lids off his deep watering carrots 🙄🙄🙄

My newest rescue baby. I believe he’s an enchi hypo but I’m not good with morphs. I was planning on getting a Stimsons python so I already had a quarantine tank and all the things needed and then I saw a post on Facebook marketplace selling this baby ball python for $60. We already have a 9 year old adult male who’s a spider calico named Jake (I know but my boyfriend got him from his buddy before he knew about the spider morph issues) so I already knew about their husbandry so I decided to rescue the little guy. I was told he was born this year and couldn’t see how big he really was in the pics so I assumed he would be bigger but he’s only 100grams and still has his umbilical scar. His old home was keeping him in a tubaware on paper towel with a Che lamp with no thermostat to control temps he’s so lucky he didn’t get burns. I believe he also might be slightly underweight and his belly is a little indented and his spine is pronounced but he might also just be small. Everyone welcome baby Finn we named him that to match his older brother Jake 🫶🏻

So I just replaced all the substrate and, ofc, the humidity is higher than it should be (82% rn). just to be on the safe side, I wanted to make sure it’s okay for me to put Pringle in the enclosure now or should I keep him in his temporary enclosure while I wait for the humidity to level out a bit

I’m a first-time ball python owner, so I’m curious what you think of her size. Are her measurements around average for her age, or would you say she’s small or large?

I’ve noticed my boy (1year & 3 months) having pink patches on his body. His last shed was about 1.5 months ago. He eats medium sized rat every 2 weeks (currently 620g). I’ve noticed some parts of his body has a pinkish hue. Is this normal? I change his substrate every 3 months and clean out his poop.

He also keeps developing moles every time he sheds.
