ball pythons do go through long periods of not eating,Ch-ch-ch-cheeeeeto said:
Does he look emaciated?
do you know if its wild caught or bred?
Pretty sure he's CB. He goes on hunger strikes every winter, October to March or so like clockwork. Looks perfectly healthy.santacruzin said:
Both the ball and RTB are rescues. RTB had a nasty mite problem when I first got her and was cranky as all hell; now she's sweet but head shy.

Raised mice to get the "pinkies" for the snakes that couldn't eat a full grown mouse.
Needless to say my Mom was not thrilled but hey, there was no internet or gameboyz back then so you had to do something to keep amused. :smile2:
And the meanest. My King Snake was the only one that wouldn't let you pick it up without striking wildly.CharmingSophisticate said:
I meant this one. If you're ever in Berkeley, check out the East Bay Vivarium. Quite a selection.ElOgro said:I had this guy for a pet
for the time it took from when I saw it until a large rock fell out of my hand and landed on his head.
Not on my snake chart but I was told he was venomous. Anyone know?
I thought the same thing but I scoured the internet today and couldn't find any snake that looked even remotely similar to the one Ogro posted.elpescador said:
It's definitely not a Mexican Garter and that was my first thought.
Would love to know what it is if you can find it in your Snakes of the World book.
The solid black stripe from the nose down the ridge of the back along with the color and scale texture of the skin doesn't even come close to being a variation of a Garter.elpescador said:
All Garters have a light colored stripe down the middle of the back that starts right behind the head and separates the wider dark skin down the length of the body.
This is not a snake I have ever seen before. Even the head is not Garter like.
I'd love to know what it is. Not a Garter.

We have garters, striped like that but brown. I was told that this guy was young, that the stripes become less distinctive when they're older. There's a big one I think may be the granddaddy of the one in the picture that travels between the pond behind my wife's house and the beach. Close to 2 meters and as big around as Chuck Norris's bicept. Very fast.keenfish said:
