First BP! Olympia

MufasasMomMakayla · Jun 28, 2016

Hello!
I'm Saturday I got my first Ball Python, Olympia! She is a Ghost morph, almost a year old.

I have her in a glass tank for now but when she gets bigger I'll move her to a tub.

Thanks for looking!
Makayla.

How are you enjoying her so far? Is she settling in well?

MufasasMomMakayla · Jun 28, 2016

Hi Cooper!
I'm enjoying her as much as I can, I haven't been messing with her because she ate a rat on Sunday, so I wanted to give her time to digest and settle in, so I'll probably pull her out Thursday evening and clean her tank out. She seems to be settling in well! Switches back and forth between her hot and cold hides, climbs around at night.

She is so pretty, lol, I'm in love. My poor beardies can tell I'm a bit distracted too. XD

I had a BP for about 10 years. Great pet. It only tried to bite me once and that was my fault. Enjoy.

MufasasMomMakayla · Jun 29, 2016

Wow, that's great! I'm so excited to have mine, hopefully she'll stick around for a while too. Ten years is a good amount isn't it?

She's a cutie!

20-30 years isn't unusual for many snakes. I think BPs can get to 40 even.

Thank you!
Snakes are so neat, it's exciting to have one.
Pics from today, I finally held her again after letting her settle in.

"Nope, don't wanna play."

Peeking out, look at her pretty little face. :love5: After this pic she got super active and I couldn't get more pics of her out because she just wanted on the floor and didn't understand why I wouldn't let her. XD

Huffily retreating into her hide.
She is so different from my beardies, I'm loving Miss Olympia.

Aww, she's beautiful!

Thank you so much JessPets!! She has only gotten better since IMO. Here are some recent pictures if anyone is interested. Never thought to keep updating here.
She was about 437 grams when I got her, now she is just barely 806 grams and close to 4' long.

Her personality is great, very calm and curious and loves to get into peoples faces or clothes. :roll: Refuses to strike her rats and always eats them after I leave her alone with it (frozen thawed).
