Anyone with ball-python experience?

WOW!!!! He is HUUUGE!!

For scale, the paper cutout of the olives is 1 3/4 inches tall.

@orloffer Have you ever thought about mating him in the future?

Yeah he'd make some pretty babies!

Adorable! What a beautiful color; I have never seen one quite like that.

At this point that is unlikely, as one snake is enough for me right now, and I do not know anything about snake eggs, etc. Snek is het pied, though, and banana pied pythons are one of my favorite morphs...

I think it wouldn't be hard....., right?
They don't need incubated, just kept at a fairy normal temp....?

This is what I found about incubating python eggs: http://www.platinummorphs.com/incubating-ball-python-eggs
https://oddlycutepets.com/incubate-ball-python-eggs/#:~:text=– Ball python eggs begin to,to sag in on themselves.
Apparently they do need an incubator. It seems relatively simple, except the part that involves taking the eggs away from the mother.
Edit: They take 60 days to hatch! Imagine if chicken eggs took 60 days...

I completely get it. I think Snek is one of the prettiest I've seen and it's got me on the look out for one that looks similar. DH wants to breed one day (in the far future) but definitely think his albino and another unique pattern would make some awesome babies.
Roku was $345 but I wonder how much pet stores pay for them.
They had a female pied spider for over $400 so tempting but waaaaay too much for my skinny wallet
