i have the money but not the space

My mom would never in a MILLION YEARS let me have my own pet snake.

Some reasons:

1. We have two cats.
2. She wouldn't wan it to get loose
3. We don't have any room for an 8 foot snake.

4.We don't like snakes in general.

Yo, konoha, i know you hate them with the burning passion of a 1000 suns, BUT I LIKE THEM!

i love snakes to death.

my sister's boyfriend is afraid of my tiny 3ft ball python. most people i know are afraid of them too but i really cant understand why since i find them so adorable


@ killerqueen121

some species of snakes stay very small and dont get near big enough to eat a cat. the biggest thing my ball python can eat right now is a small rat and she wont be getting much bigger.

i also keep bricks on her bin because i dont want her getting out and either getitng hurt by the dogs or getting into my rat cage

I'm the only one in my family that likes snakes; therefore I am, 'to never bring a snake into this house'. My dream is to get a ball python (or ball python hybrid mixed with another constrictor breed), I have met some very friendly pythons and think there are so many pretty styles to choose from there just is no reason to want another kind of snake. I like so many colors that someday I'll probably end up with more than one. Piebald has by far my favorite markings
I also like pastel, Mojave and ghost. I saw some pictures of one with jaguar markings, so gorgeous!

piebalds are one of my favorite morphs. im unsure on how i feel about hybrids, i havent done enough research on them to have an opinion yet

another of my favorite morphs is the leutistic and the ivory. i want a leutistic so badly but since they are so expensive ill probably settle for an ivory or piebald

all ball morphs are stunning, i have yet to see one i dont like

Leucistics;
white with black eyes, that is pretty stunning, even the heterozygous ones are beautiful! If I ever 'make it big' some day and can afford to become a python enthusiast that would be a beauty to own. While looking for some pictures of those I was led to notice a couple more great ones. There is Ringed: Hard to believe that is a python with having such a bright orange coloring.

and labyrinth quite amazing;
Also though it is not a ball, a calico reticulated python - , I still like the piebald best but this is one I have to say is pretty amazing breeding.

ooooh, if only retics didnt get so darn huge i would love to have that morph

Ever since I posted on this thread I have thought about ball pythons nearly everyday. I want one more now than ever before. I have been doing more and more research on morphs, I didn't realize piebalds came in different morphs, lol! I found pictures of albino piebalds, bumblebee piebalds, etc. I plan to research to the point where I understand breeding practices, bloodlines, health issues, breeders I should buy from; and most importantly, how to build my own enclosures. Such an interesting hobby to get into!

Mixture of colors


After looking at hundreds of snake pictures, pastel variations have caught my heart the strongest, piebalds being among the most striking.

When I go to collage, I am so getting a snake. Then I'll have fun with it, and talk with it, and freak out everyone in the dorm with it!

its all about training cats and dogs to leave the snake alone.
