    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Is my Ball Python too thin?

I have had her for almost 2 years now, she has been on fast for about 3 months and she lost around 1200 grams in that time.

well.....

She does look a little thin at the moment, but not as bad as some I've seen before. Looks like she's needing to feast a bit and get more fluids. But, then, that's just my thoughts. It's been a couple of years since we had BPs.

It really weird, she hasn't left any poo for me in a long time, but the other day when I was cleaning her cage there were 11 HUGE urates in her hide spot.

With any luck pastels will emerge in about 58 days.

11 Eggs?!?!?!

Wow, don't think I can recall that many eggs before in a BP (again, it's been a while.) Beautiful to say the least. Here's hoping that they all hatch for you and that you.

This is them in the incubator box.

Congrats Al!!!!

Good to see you finally got her to go, considering all the tricks she has played on you in the past.
 
too thin

Yep...way too thin....and those urates..yuck, could be something she drank, better test that Wisc water supply.....Better yet.... you better send those urates down here for closer inspection............
but keep in mind it may take me a few months to do an extemsive study on those horrible looking things...may take years to reach a decision...........congrats buddy

Thanks Andy, ?Jerry.

It was kinda cool getting such a big clutch as my first for this season. Those 11 pearlies should be pipping anyday now.
 
thin

NICE CLUTCH!! and yes she does look a tad thin be she just put her body through a huge energy expense. I would try to at least get her rehydrated.
