Hi! My name is Mr. Squeeze --< the Ball Python--< # 50511.

I am a Ball Python from Independence.

2 years old

Male

Snakes

3ft. or so


DISTRIBUTION & IMPORTS: The ball python is found in the grasslands of the Sudanese subprovince (west of the Nile); in southern Sudan, in the Bahrel Ghazal River and Nubia Mountains region(southern Kordofan); in West Africa from Senegal to Sierra Leone; and in the Ivory Coast and parts of Central Africa. Virtually all ball pythons sold in the reptile trade are imported from Togo and Ghana. HABITAT: Ball pythons are primarily terrestrial snakes that inhabit open forests or savanna grasslands with low tree density and scatterd rock outcroppings. They are not found in closed forests but are known to colonize heavily cleared and farmed grasslands. SIZE: Hatchlings range from 10in. runts to large 17in. pythons. Adults typically range from 3 to 5ft.long, though there are reports of wild individuals reaching more than 6ft.long. GROWTH RATE: Ball pythons that are captive-raised from hatchlings grow to more than 3ft.long with in 3yrs.. With an optimal feeding and maintenance regimen, some ball pythons reach maturity with in 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 yrs. LONGEVITY: The natural lifespan of ball pythons ranks among the highest for snakes species. It is reasonable to expect a captive-raised ball python to live 20 to 30 years. The longest-lived ball python on record lived to be 47 years old. BALL PYHONS also make great starter snakes, they don't get to big and rarely bite. WARNING: Like with any animal you my own tame or not there's always a chance the animal will bite! My B-Day is 5-25-2006 thats the day mom got me.

  Hey
I heard that Jaime is going to get to handle Monty, the ball python that lives at the director of the nature center's house. I'm jealous, but I'm sure she'll like handling her first python! I am great, and I just shed a week ago but am still sporting my gorgeous colors. I'll try to get some pics up. Here's a vote!

  Well I call em Monty for short, but Ramses is the name of an Egyption pharoh, Montague is a name I really like, Asiza is a Ghanan name meaning forest spirit, and Togo just an African country I like.

  HI!!
Yeah, my Mom liked Ralphie better too. Who can be scared of a Ralphie??? Since Mom has been known to take me with her to some events to educate people about snakes, she wanted a nice name that wouldn't scare everybody! My New Year is going fine so far. Still digesting that rat, so I've been quiet.

Come visit me, Elliott, Jamie, Marty & Ralphie.

  Hi Mr Squeeze!!
It's Ralphie here. I would love to be your friend!! And I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year! I like your name. Mom almost named me Heimlich, but opted to name me after NASCAR driver Dale Jr...Ralph is his legal first name. In fact, all my reptile brothers and sister are named after NASCAR drivers...Elliott for Elliott Sadler, Jamie for Jamie McMurray, and Marty for Martin Truex Jr. I also have 5 brothers and 1 sister of the feline type. They're named Irish or English names. And we're not allowed near one another.

Gotta run...working on digesting that rat I got last night!!

Ralphie

Come visit me, Elliott, Jamie, Marty & Ralphie.

  Hi Mr. Squeeze!
Hey, thanks for the name ideas for my borneo. I really liked the bloody mary idea (I'm ashamed I didn't think of that one.) I went with amber because it suites her color very well, along with her personality. However, I did use Mary for a red blood I got myself for Christmas. She’s a real nipper, so the name fits. She tagged me on my nuckles while I was taking pictures of her…guess she not much of a glamour girl. Lol I’ll post pics of her soon. Thanks again!

Come visit me, Amber-Marble Borneo STP, "Mojo"-Mojave Ball Python, Mary aka Bloody Mary, Emily-Blurry Ball Python, Esther-Ball Python & Essie-Sulcata Tort.
