Royal Python (Python regius) Studio Photography

As you may remember, my single female ball python (Python regius) laid seven eggs without any interaction with a male python ever in her life. That's pretty rare but known phenomenon called parthenogenesis. Only one egg survived despite proper incubation, and single baby ball python was born.

Unfortunately he (or she) refused to eat after first skin shedding, which happen quite often with baby ball pythons. However, after weeks of games with all my tricks being used to convince small hunter to hunt, we eventually sorted this as well, and seems that now we have healthy, fast growing happy baby snake :-)

I almost missed that he had a snake with him. Had my daughter not said something I am sure I had associated his pet with his harness

I took some photos of some of Lamont's (my brother) critters last night for him. He breeds these, so these are some variety of rare colors and whatnot. So the crazy-strange colors that you see are really how these guys look; they're not retouched.

For me, absolutely the fairest creature on the day. I really loved this little Royal python. This is one of my favourite shots from the session, I think. Taken on a photography day with CaptiveLight in Bournemouth.

checking out her world. She's a Royal (ball) python (Python regius). Notice her heat sensing pits above her upper lip which enable her to sense the warmth of prey animals from up to 30 feet away. Photo by Frank.

"E-B" is a Royal (ball) python (Python regius) who was a gift from a friend on October 21, 1991. She was adult size then so she's most likely at least 35 years old. Her name is a result of an adventure she had about a week after I got her. I inadvertently did not close the door to her enclosure tightly and she escaped. I found her about two days later lodged in the wiring behind the temperature dials on my stove, which, fortunately, I had not used during that time. A friend suggested the initials "E" and "B" as an abbreviation for "Escape and Bake." She was probably attracted to the stove because, at the time, it was still warm and had some small, dark places where she could seek security. Royal pythons are native to west Africa, where "E-B" was probably captured and then imported to the United States, as Ball pythons were rarely bred in captivity 28 years ago. Photo by Frank.

  

is a Royal (ball) python (Python regius) who I have cared for since June 5, 1998. She was rescued as an adult from a pet store in south central Idaho where apparently she had not eaten for a year. Fortunately when I provided her with the correct enclosure with heat and a place to hide, she ate within a day and has been healthy ever since. My guess is she's most likely about 25+ years old. The longetivity record for a ball python in captivity is 47 years meaning that snake could have been over 50+ years old. Royal pythons are native to west Africa and, because of her age, she, most likely, was captured from the wild. Photo by Frank.
