Jonnie gets a bath to help finish peeling; he gets lazy during his shed and sometimes doesn't finish on his own.
We introduced them to swimming slowly, with warm water, just the right temp. Not only do they like to swim, they LOVE the attention.

A 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.
is looking forward to the new year hoping she can continue to teach about amphibians and reptiles. She's a Royal (Ball) python (Python regius). Royal pythons are native to sub-Sahara Africa. They are among the most docile snakes. Photo by Frank
We got to feed the snake today. That's the bulge you see. Let's just say it was an 'experience'. We got him 'take out' from the local pet store--came home in a little cardboard box. My daughter called it a snake "happy meal"...
Ball Python. Hanging out in our driveway this chilly day. Had to have escaped from someone. He looked fed and cared for. We caught him and found him a home with our neighbor, who it turns out, already had one snake. He was about 18 inches long. Definitely not native to these parts...
A neighbor from down the road was walking around with her Ball Python and obliged my request for a photo. Beautiful snake!
Our first albino hatching... no name as yet - Bree shot down "Mighty Whitey" (a name some friends and I came up with when we were young for a giant albino gorilla movie)
The ball python or python regius is a nonvenomous python species found in Africa. This is the smallest of the African pythons and is popular in the pet trade, largely due to its typically docile temperament. No subspecies are currently recognized.
The name ball python refers to the animal's tendency to curl into a ball when stressed or frightened. The color pattern is typically black or dark brown with light brown or gold sides and dorsal blotches. The belly is a white or cream that may include scattered black markings.
This python is known for being a picky eater and may not eat for months, particularly during the winter breeding season. Ball pythons will not eat when they preparing to shed.
