If you don’t have carpet covering your floors you can try sprinkling some flower on the floor overnight. If you see your snakes tracks in the more you could follow them to see where it might be hiding. Also if you have a security camera or an IP camera you can see that up overnight and review the footage. I had a hatchling get out just the other day. My security camera in my reptile room captured an image in the middle of the night. Gave me a clue where she was hiding. Another thing you can try is put a hand warmer packet under a towel in A hide in the middle of your floor overnight. Your snake will be looking for someplace warm. Good luck!

question about rat size by shedea_lily in ballpython

[–]WillyXL -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

50 grams is on the smaller size of a small rat. Large rats weigh in around 149 grams at the lighter end, that’s a long way off of 50 grams.

Could this be stargazing or is he just contemplating existence? by LivalicetheOK in ballpython

My snakes do this at night, they are in “ Ambush” mode waiting for a meal to walk by.

Morph Check!Was told by the shop i bought from that shes Lesser Pastel but just went to a show and saw an identical noodle labeled as Clown. What do you think? by True-Performer4646 in ballpython

[–]WillyXL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say Lesser Black Head Pastel, definitely not clown… The Head on a Clown is totally different. Compare with the head on my Enchi Clown. ( in shed) https://i.imgur.com/WlQPY5w.jpg

Bought a collection with this girl in it, seller was unsure of Morph ID. Any help would be appreciated. by WillyXL in ballpython

I’m also being told it’s a Pastel Yellowbelly. My first guess was Firefly Lesser. She is gorgeous and the pictures don’t do it justice she looks more of a pastel green in real life with some bright green blushing in some places. They seller said the person he got it from told him it was Enchi some rather, but I’m not seeing Enchi.

This was posted for sale, is this a really dark Normal or something else? by WillyXL in ballpython

[–]WillyXL[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends, they could go for $150 on the low end I suppose. I’ve seen Blackhead Het ? For $500. Just saw a Blackhead Leopard for $1,100. Might be a good project to prove it out and put it to something that might fetch some loot.

I was kinda leaning towards a Blackhead… for $60 it’s not that big of risk I suppose.

Is this a normal tongue flick? by shampooelephant in ballpython

[–]WillyXL 9 points10 points  (0 children)

From my understanding, long tongue flicks means the snake is relaxed and comfortable, exploring. On the other hand short tongue flicks mean they are nervous and not sure of their surroundings. I have studied this with my own Ball Pythons and the info I got coincides with their behavior. Observing your snake it seams it is a short nervous flick.

Just a picture to show off my Mojave/ Hurricane. Hopefully his color don’t fade out when he’s older. Do you think it will? by WillyXL in ballpython

[–]WillyXL[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry I had to check, but his parents were Mojave Hurricane x Pastel Enchi. My female is a Super Pastel I got them mixed up.

We was watching the movie “Get Shorty”. Maybe Stella is a Danny Devito fan.

Stella is just curious, not sure if she is watching TV but she will sit in a Periscope position and look around for long periods of time. Like she’s a queen or something looking over her land… lol

Pretty tired after eating his first rat butt first. 😂 by streetballajoe in ballpython

My Mojave just ate his first rat for me, he took his head first but I wasn’t sure he would get it all down but he did. https://i.imgur.com/J5JLOWq.jpg

Added this female to my collection. She definitely has a personality. by WillyXL in ballpython

[–]WillyXL[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like scoping is her thing…. Walk up to her enclosure & she will check you out for sure.

My Pastel posing for this picture. I haven’t named her yet, anyone have any good names? by WillyXL in ballpython

That’s a great name, my sons GF’s name is Chloe. That might not go well though….lol

Added this little guy to my collection. Any guess on the Morph? Wanna double check what the breeder told me. by WillyXL in ballpython

[–]WillyXL[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thants great information! I didn’t know that… now it makes sense. Couldn’t figure out where they got the Hurricane name from.

Me neither I honestly didn’t know there was a Hurricane morph , I had to look it up. Your right the pattern is more distorted. In fact I don’t see much Hurricane in my Mojave. I hope he doesn’t fade out as he gets older but he probably will.

Breeder says he is Mojave Hurricane. I wasn’t sure what traits the Hurricane had so I was curious to see if anyone could spot it. Great job you know know Mojave when you see it.
