TSHS Animal of the Month

August

This is a Ball Python. This is a color mutation of the normal Ball Pythons called Pastel Jungle. They are characterized by the intense yellow pigmentation and faded black pigment. This is not my snake, however, this is what I will be receiving in about two weeks. Ball Pythons are excellent pythons. They are very good starter pythons for many reasons. They stay small (4 - 5 feet), very calm, and are very hardy. They only have one problem. Some of them can be bad eaters.

Hopefully I will be able to replace this pic with a pic of mine before the month ends.
