Hello everyone!
Where to begin...My name is Jennifer, my husband (Dereck) and I have 8 Ball Pythons (Sen, Chihiro, Haku, Kamaji, Lin, Yubaba, Zeniba, and Akio) 4 rats (We've only named the male so far, he's Splinter), 4 mice (Stripe is the male and 2 females are named Spongebob, and the other is Snow White), and a 6 year old son (Azrael).
We bought our first BP about a year ago (Sen), and got hooked. We're hoping to breed them in the future. Sen, Yubaba, and Zeniba are normal females, Chihiro and Akio we think are males (they've been probed but only to 6-7 scales which is why I wonder), Haku is our 100% het N.E.R.D. line Axanthic male (we plan on getting him a girlfriend soon), Kamaji is our 100% het N.E.R.D. line Orange Ghost male (we also plan on getting him a girlfriend soon), and Lin is our Pastel male. We have a few years to plan and get as much info as we can on breeding.
You can find some pictures here.

I am not so good with my cam, sorry, I plan on getting a better one soon, and I haven't taken pics in a while so Lin and Akio aren't there. Many of you, I am sure, will not agree with me keeping some of my BPs housed together. I kept them together when I first got them, then read on a forum that it wasn't a good idea, so I separated them, all my females went off feed and got cranky, after a month I put them back together and they went back to normal like nothing happened. So until there's a problem or they're getting to big to share they're staying that way. I've always fed them separate in a container (that I clean with vinegar and water) I only use for feeding or to hold the rodents while I clean their cages.
Our rodents aren't just our breeders, they're also our pets, we feed them a well balanced diet and they have wheels and toys to keep them fit. Even the feeders are kept this way.
If anyone has any questions that I didn't answer in this jumbled up mess, feel free to PM me or post here.
