Anyone with ball-python experience?

Even the normals come in all kind of different colors and patterns!

Yes, Onyx's pattern is similar to Snek's, just a different color scheme.

My python was named twister ! He was a spider morph so he had a head wobble .

Spider patterns look very nice! The head wobble has always slightly alarmed me, though.

It was a very light head wob thankfully , not scary at all accept one time he was trying to get a thawed out rat and missed and bit my hand ! It didn't hurt that much tho

My husband watches more stuff than I do but not sure I've heard of him.

I have had my male ball python, Snek, since September of 2018, and he was six weeks old then (I cannot do the math right now.) He is very adorable, as is yours.
I have a heating pad on the right side of my 20-gallon-long that stays at 87 Fahrenheit all the time, and a heat lamp above in the middle of the tank that is always on. These days it is warm, so he has been staying on the cool side of the tank.
From my experience, ball pythons take several days to digest their food, and I tend to stay on the safe side of that (I do not take him out of the tank or adjust his surroundings during that time).
How is your python doing now? Here are a few photos of Snek, one of which shows him at 6 weeks, and the other two of which are from sometime last year (he is a bit bigger now).

He is very beautiful! Wow!
Azula seems to be doing well. We think she's about to shed but not sure. Struggled with humidity last week but we got a temperature regular for the heating pad, and some moss and its finally stable.

I love the name Snek! I have a normal ball python named Onyx and she’s a big fatty.View attachment 2247663

She is a beauty! Love her dark pattern

What a pretty snake! I have a ball python, Betty Boop, and 2 corn snakes. Your baby looks pretty happy!

My kids and I love Snake Discovery's youtube channel. It's really educational. You should check it out - no Google-fu required, lol.
Great name, btw. We're fans here too.

Sweet! I will check it out!

Thank you its such a great show

I LOVE that channel too

Back when I had a ball python I used a book shelf with glass , took out the shelves and installed a light ( not for heat ) and a heat light on the top , I would turn the light bulb off at night and leave the heat light on .
I think mine pooped when he felt like it

Hope your husband has fun with his snake (and awesome name by the way )!

He is loving his snake! He "wore" her as a bracelet while he played video games. You can tell she's getting more familiar with him, and is less hesitant to crawl towards him.
My hands get dripping wet every time she comes near me. I'm slowly getting over my fear

Have you held her yet ? You'll love it once you do
I'm glad that your husband is having fun with his snake !

I remember I used to have twister around my neck when I would do school !
