A little more than a week after he arrived at Casa AP Economy Rack, my albino ball Hiroyuki ate two f/t hopper mice!

(Yes, I know he could take bigger prey. I have a metric buttload of hoppers in my freezer; besides, I'd rather feed a couple of small items than one over-large and regurge-inducing big one).

I have heard many horror stories about Ball Pythons going on hunger strikes, and so I was prepared for months of angst. Here's to continued healthy eating from Mr. Hiroyuki :)

To celebrate, I put a deposit down on this little girl. Since she's presently in Wisconsin, I thought it best to wait until springtime for shipping... and since she's presently in Garrick Demeyer's hands, I've got no doubt that she will receive excellent care until April.

Thanks for the kind words. I can already see that this is going to be a costly addiction -- but those moments of joy when you look at your scaly little collection make it all worthwhile.

Indeed! Congrats on the pretty girl!

I've already got a name for her -- Dalchini (Hindi for "Cinnamon" -- it seemed appropriate). I hope that Dalchini and Hiroyuki get together for a long and happy relationship which brings us years of love, companionship and Black Pastel Het Albinos.
