You were probably the victim of an import. Captive bred balls are usually very good eaters, while the wild caught imports tend to be problematic. Your local pet stores are often supplied by the large distributors that get their stock from the big importers. The imports may be wild caught, or they may be farm raised. By farm raised, they mean that it is natural jungle, that is designated as a farm. They go out and collect the marketable wild life and sell it. In some cases they find the clutch of eggs and hatch them in captivity. In that case there is a better chance of eating if it was supplied obtainable food.OCBob said:
Nice looking albino. I raised Burmese for a while. They were my first success in breeding. We produced regulars, albinos, patternless, and albino patternless. Then we moved into the reticulated pythons. By the end we had bred retics, boas, burms, and balls. i hope to get into it again in the future. I want a albino retic as well as a pied ball python.1bad4dr said:Ball Pythons are great. They usually grow up to 5 - 7 feet and are easily manageable.
Here is a pic of me and my former Albino Burmese Python, Casper. At the time she was a year and a half at 11 feet weighing in at 80lbs.
By the time she reached two, she was just over 14 feet weighing in at 125+ lbs.
She died that year when a snow storm knocked out power for over a day.
