ball pythons do go through long periods of not eating,Ch-ch-ch-cheeeeeto said:My ball python is trying to escape his cage and hasn't been hungry since October.
Pretty sure he's CB. He goes on hunger strikes every winter, October to March or so like clockwork. Looks perfectly healthy.santacruzin said:ball pythons do go through long periods of not eating,Ch-ch-ch-cheeeeeto said:My ball python is trying to escape his cage and hasn't been hungry since October.
Does he look emaciated?
do you know if its wild caught or bred?
I'm in a nonprofit with a lot of other reptile people. Not going to lie, most reptile people are weird as fuck. Some of us just like snakes.shackwell said:Reptile people seem weird to me. Bird people too.
And the meanest. My King Snake was the only one that wouldn't let you pick it up without striking wildly.CharmingSophisticate said:I take it none of you reptiliophiles had snake fights when you were kids? King Snakes were the toughest.
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:I'll check it out in my "Living Snakes of the World" (in color) by John M. Mehrtens. Looks
like a garter snake to me. I kept anoles for many years and had them hatching from eggs
for a while.
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:Not in my book, but based on the pattern I'd say some type of garter. There can be local variations.
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: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:I'll check it out in my "Living Snakes of the World" (in color) by John M.

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.
