This is about when I first bought her, she is about 16 inches here. She is full grown now and about 4 to 4.5 feet long.
Gorgeous capture of my Lesser Ball Python, Chandler. Love those eyes ♥
And the caption? Clever eh ;)
Just fed my daughter’s snake, Phoenix—a truly sweet ball Python. Phoenix loves human contact and her girl is away from home. After she’s had a little time to digest, she enjoys Quality Time with a family member and I grabbed a quick snap.
after eating, "Monty" is a Royal (ball) python (Python regius). He is most likely between 35 and 40 years old. Royal pythons are native to west Africa. I just realized something: "Monty" was wild caught in Africa sometime prior to 1986. He's been in this country through the terms of six presidents. Photo by Frank.
Aren't they cute? I generally find my Royal or Ball Pythons, depending on where you're from, balled up together in their terrarium. Cuddling aside, they get their name because as a defense mechanism, they will curl up into a ball rather than strike. But I can tell you from experience, if their perceived threat is big enough, they will snap!
Mokiki got scared when I moved a book near him, so he buried his head underneath his body and tightened into a ball for protection. Hence the name Ball Python.

This is a necklace I bought from Jessica Peffer, a very well known artist who's published many 'How to Draw...' Books based on fantasy & anime artwork. When she offered a pendant of a ball python, I just had to have it not just because it's a snake, but because a ball python is the first snake breed I own & plan to collect many more ;)
He was an adult when I got him in 1987, most likely captured from the wild in West Africa. "Monty is a Royal (ball) python (Python regius), one of the most shy and gentle snakes in the world. Fortunately, now, most ball pythons are bred and hatched in captivity. They rarely exceed 4 feet in length. A Royal python holds the record for logetivity, having been kept at a zoo in Pennsylvania for 47 years. In this pictue, "Monty" is soaking in his water bowl. Idaho summers are way too dry for sub-Sahara African pythons...Photo by Frank
An out-of-focus picture of Gus, our pet ball python. He's around 2 feet (about or a little over half their adult size) and we've had him for a month.

Well I'm getting ready for my wedding this weekend so I didn't have time to put together anything too complicated this week. This is my male jungle mojave ball python. He's an '07. Simple as that really, the whole shoot took about 10 minutes including setup.
Shot with 3 speedlites - 430EX II located camera right on medium power, 580EX II camera left on medium power, and a 430EX II at medium power firing through a semi-transparent white backdrop. Triggered with Pocket Wizards.
Next week I will be in Riveria del Maya, Mexico so hopefully lots of travel pics to come... :)
