My ball has an unusually small head (even for a ball), and I am starting to get a bit worried about it. I have never power fed my animal (they get an appropriate sized meal once every 7 to 10 days), and though the body has been growing at a normal pace, their head has barely grown since they were about 5 months old (now a year and a half old). Other people have even pointed out how small their head looks in comparison to other balls. Should I be concerned? They are healthy in every other way.
I’m not really sure, that’s honestly a difficult call to make without any images to reference. I mean, if it’s just small in proportion to the rest of the body that might just be a bit funky with nothing to worry about but if the head looks small due to it being deformed or there seems to be a lack of muscle definition in the jaws, then that’s something completely different.
/Edit: Also you shouldn’t powerfeed a snake. That’s intentionally overfeeding them and that’s incredibly unhealthy.
Closing the ask box for a while so I can catch up on questions. Expect it to reopen by the end of the month at the very latest.
P.S.; This means it’s the green light to get in any last minute questions.
Concluding the show spam with the highlight of the day, a Super Dwarf Snow Reticulated Python at the Ron’s Reptiles table. I really wanted to hold it but unfortunately it’s against their policy unless you’re a serious buyer… and I didn’t have $10k on me. Damn.
Divine little snake though, definitely on my wishlist.
Some snakes at the Ron’s Reptiles table. My dad really liked the Brook’s Kingsnake apparently because it “reminds him of Skeletor”.
Ball Pythons from Boa Republic. I actually liked the Bumble Bee a bit more than it usually tend to like Bumble Bees in general, had a lot of nice white on it’s sides and the colour was decent. The Champagnes were really gorgeous though, not sure how much you can tell but the heads were super orange and they had a bit more pattern to them, which is good because I like my Champs that way.
The guy with the lizard hanging out on his shoulder actually gave me a good start. I don’t know why.
Some other critters Brian Gundy had at this table, The Burm was a real sweetheart.
Ball Pythons from Brian Gundy, lots of Gold Blush Mojaves like you would expect. The Super was also a Paradox but I didn’t get a shot of the other side of here face but you can still see it here.
Ball Pythons and Cresties from Santa Cruz Pythons. Once again, I’m questioning why I don’t have more pictures from this table because they had a some really nice animals, including that Leopard Spider and a really great looking male Stinger Bee that I would have bought if I had the cash and once again, didn’t take any pictures of?????????? ?? ?
I think I got side tracked since I did have a really long conversation with the owner. Seems like a nice guy and he seriously had some really nice BPs to boot!
