Hello everyone. I am new to the snake world, and have been a little obsessed for the last few weeks doing as much reading as possible. I am just trying to educate myself on everything I can, and I am realizing I am quickly going down a rabbit hole I will probably never get out of now.
I purchased a Chocolate Banana Enchi Pos Hypo, and I cant wait to watch this thing grow up. Now I want a second one, and I can quickly see where this is headed.
I was able to see a few babies at a local reptile store, and they have a pastel one I liked. I am curious if anyone can identify it. The lady there was really nice, but she did not know, other than the obvious, that it was pastel. I have been trying to compare based on the pattern, but I am not sure. I do not know enough to be sure. Fire maybe because of the fade or blushing?? Ghost? Butter? I was hoping to get some help. I am thinking about getting it as well.
This very thing happened to me and my other half… needless to say we now have 15 ball pythons. And have one gravid female!! It is addicting he cares about the breeding aspect I just love all my snakes!!!
Holy cow that banana is gorgeous! At least to me! The new one you are looking at is lovely as well but unfortunately I am no good at morphs. All I can say is welcome to community and welcome to the (BP) club!
Welcome to the community! Your first snake is beautiful. And most of us in the forum have found the same “problem” as you…you can’t have just one!
I am absolutely of no help in identifying the morphs of the snake you’re interested in buying, but it is also so pretty. Somebody else here will be able to identify for you. Congratulations on your first snake!
I’m not judging. At all. Wanna see my rack(s)? Lol. My first ball was also a banana. Then od yb calico. Then a lemonblast. Then a blkel. And so…now have 9 balls. And bloods(7) and dumerils boas(2)and an atb and a gtp and whitelips (4). No judgement here.
He’s a black pastel banana het pied. And the first pic is not his baby pic. I fat fingered it, sorry.
I may be the wrong person to ask advice on convincing spouses (or parents) to allow getting more snakes. Just ask @scaledcanvas or @armiyana Sneaking them in may be a bad idea. According to some.lol. If the kids are on board, your’re almost there.
However, breeding is a great way to get more. It’s not sneaky at all. They did it themselves.Processing: IMG_20230420_141640674.jpg…
Elizabeth- od yb calico
Mine are pets as well he wanted to try pairing but all of the ones we have are here to stay and apparently he just got 2 more males and 2 more females all are still little I love watching them grow. My daughter started collecting the skins to make pretty cool pendants all different shapes and colors
Life is to short to just have one BP. They are like Pringle’s tater chips, if you can eat just one, we can’t be friends, lol!!! You began your collection with a beauty, best advice I can give you is not to buy on a whim, do your homework before the wallet comes out. I also highly prefer buying direct from a breeder than from a pet shop, especially from any of the chain stores. The history is usually unknown or not even close to being accurate . You can avoid this by buying from the breeder either from a local one, buying on MM and having it shipped or my favorite is getting them at a local show where I can see what I’m buying in person and speak to the breeder and asking the right questions. Keep us posted as your collection grows.
