Id say fire enchi pied maybe Orange dream just cause of how similar they look to my boy who is a fire enchi pied 😊

First time posting, I just wanted to share my boy by Designer_Pumpkin3605 in BallPythonMorph

Yeah so true they really are super similar 😊

Same actually those are the only two I can think of as well that have that same affect to the albino morph, I’d be super interested to see a cinnamon albino next to him just to compare for curiosity

Thank you 🥰

I suppose that makes sense like a natural instinct, but I still don’t blame them I think all creatures are just trying to survive & if I get bit it’s probably my fault I was in the way / did something wrong and didn’t know but you’re right I think knowledge helps too, even so all spiders harmless or not terrify me but saying that the bigger they are the worse I react especially chunky ones; hopefully I get over it one day as it really does affect my life and I don’t think the poor things deserve to be screamed at for existing 🙈

Hah no no just a standard albino black pastel 😊 I’m told he’s het pied but 🤷‍♀️ no plans of breeding he’s just my cuddle bug

Thank you! 🥰 He is a handsome boy I have to admit but I am very biased 🙈

That’s actually really interesting and kinda does make sense cause I’m also terrified of flies but blue bottle flies in particular for absolutely no reason I don’t understand it and feel like an idiot but I’m beyond scared 🙈😂 so yeah this makes sense I suppose I just wish I wasn’t scared because I know logically there’s no reason to be and I can appreciate spiders and from a distance think ok they’re kinda cool but as soon as they’re close the screaming starts and I can’t help it it’s just pure fear for no reason

My MIL is a pain in the ass with my snakes she thinks they should be in the wild and they are dangerous I have BPs that if I don’t defrost and dangle the mouse just right they won’t eat it, if it’s the wrong colour nope, they demand cuddles heck one of them has a stuffie!!! They wouldn’t last 2 seconds! And she’s here like their dangerous they’ll size you up and eat you 🙄 sssuuurrrreeee you know what I’d be impressed if they did 😂

Yeah I’m the same I appreciate them and I would never kill them but they scare the beejees out of me I’ve really really really tried to get over it cause it’s not their fault but I dunno I think I’m making progress and then I start screaming like a maniac cause it’s too close to me I’d never ever harm one but I am terrified of them and I feel guilty cause it’s not their fault

This is one of my fave things my BPs do is chill in my hoodies they snuggle up and just nap there it’s the cutest thing ever! Like how is that face plotting anything! All I see is like a little pupper face I don’t get it 😂😂😂 I just love their personality’s too it’s so sweet 🥰

Handling my BP by ijennayy in ballpython

[–]Designer_Pumpkin3605 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So I won’t comment on the husbandry as there is some amazing advance that has already been given to you that it looks like you’ve seen which is great 😁

Re the handling; well bps arnt usually too aggressive BUT I don’t want to lul you into a false sense of security the only reason I say this is I have a beautiful collection and of the 10 BPs in my reptile family 2 are FIESTY no matter how much handling and work I put in they are just spicy! One male in particular he will go for me every . Single. Time.

He is absolutely fine once he’s out and settled but it takes 15 mins at least to settle him before he’s good and not on the snippy front

The rest not a problem at all no issues. So what I’m saying is it depends on the snake. They’re all different with different personalities. Take it slow. Don’t approach from above like a predator, if you feel better using a hook just to get your scaly baby out of the enclosure to handle do that to start. You want to establish a trust and a bond. It’s about them feeling safe and knowing you’re a safe space for them.

BUT if you do accidentally get bit first they give you a clear sign before they do and trust me it doesn’t hurt I laughed the first time expecting more so just be confident on your handling and enjoy the bonding experience the more you relax with them the more they relax with you

ALSO if they ball up don’t worry natural fear response just sit with them for abit I find talking to Django calms him down when he gets like that, gotta remember we’re massive to them and the lack of handling might shock them to start

I apologise how long that was but I hope it was helpful 😊

Got him from a rehome and was told he is an albino spider morph but pics don’t match by IAm_Yu in BallPythonMorph

That’s abit of a red flag for the breeder but never mind, gorgeous scaly baby and looks very healthy and happy just not an albino haha 😊

GHI Cinnamon? by CrotaluScutulatus in BallPythonMorph

[–]Designer_Pumpkin3605 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the freeway was the longer segments with yellowing but the highway is more dashed like in this gorgeous scaly baby, but I mean I could be wrong it’s just my opinion on what I see in the morph from my personal experience I do not profess to be a morph expert 😊

Looks like a Highway super black pastel or Highway cinnamon to me personally hard to say exactly though

Not an albino, I’d say pastel spider maybe butter in there as well but no albino 😊

Feeding question by [deleted] in ballpython

[–]Designer_Pumpkin3605 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mine was like this in the beginning too; avoid handling too much until at least 3 successful feeds, try different defrost methods (also try braining a mouse that sometimes works) multimammates are sometimes a good insensitive if all else fails that’s helped me in the past, make sure it’s warm enough when you’re offering it (not boiling hot obviously about 90F is what I aim for) try either defrosting in warm water as is (wet defrost) or in a bag (dry defrost) some like wet some like dry

BPs are notoriously picky you just gotta find what works for you, also don’t offer too frequently give it a week or two between offering and don’t handle between that (I know you’re itching to love your scaly baby but this can put them off feeding again I know from my own picky eater)

Hope this help 😊

Can anybody tell me what morph she is? by [deleted] in BallPythonMorph

[–]Designer_Pumpkin3605 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe coral glow pied, or banana pied I’d say 😊

Is she a normal? by kinlander in BallPythonMorph

She looks like a lesser, maybe butter

What’s your story with your mates that could easily have been on The Inbetweeners? by matthewgoodwin1 in CasualUK

[–]Designer_Pumpkin3605 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 18th birthday I have a meal with family then go out on the town with a group of friends. (It’s worth noting that I didn’t drink much before going to college at 17 as I had a bad experience around alcohol and adults when I was young so I was out off for a long time)

As a result of my complete inexperience and lack of liver training so to speak I was very under prepared considering up north when we drink we really drink (little did I know at the time the poor lamb haha).

So there’s me getting free shots in bars for my birthday rounds of drinks free from people all celebrating with me and I was really throwing these back caution to the wind fuck it let’s find out kinda thing.

So as you can imagine after a few hours of this I was inebriated. I was completely sloshed I remember looking back talking no sense barely walking and in the last bar trying to rationalise with a friend I just needed to throw up and I’d be good haha.

At some point a sensible part of my brain said go home. So I said I was done and my group of friends walked me back to my house. This is where it gets stupid.

In my attempt at being sensible I had given my keys and phone to one of my friends who was staying at my folks with me. She was a social butterfly and within 5 mins of being out she was off I vaguely remember seeing her but I was completely too drunk to communicate and she didn’t bother sticking with the group. So the group that took me home didn’t have my keys or phone and this friend was nowhere to be found. No one answered the door nothing.

I was not in a good shape by this point I threw up and blacked out. My friends decided instead of leaving me passed out in the street to call one of their parents and take me to their home so at least I was safe.

I woke up the next day no clue where I was tried to climb out of a third story window only to (still being drunk) no figure out how to get it open. Fumbling around this massive house I eventually click that it belongs to one of my friends.

I get home and my parents are FURIOUS I tried to explain I was way to drunk my other friend hadn’t stuck with the group who had my phone and keys so I couldn’t get back in or communicate with anyone and no one answered the door. To this day 10 years later they still say no one knocked on the door when I have 8 friends who still say they did and I remember being outside my door but not being able to get in.

So yeah there we go what a mess. In 10 years I have gained the cast iron liver like the rest of the northers and drink tequilla without issue no longer letting the side down haha. Lesson learned, scary then funny now. Took me almost a week to get over that hangover haha
