    So here are some pictures of Milo. He's a normal phased ball python. I went to a reptile expo back in October and was looking for a couple of snakes. They only seemed to have ball pythons, boas and cornsnakes. I wasn't too interested in any of them until one of the breeders offered that I hold Milo. I held him and he was just so calm and sweet that I had to bring him home. He's one of my most tamed snakes, and he's definitely a great eater as well.

    I recently moved him to a hexagonal tank. He's still a baby so for now it should be fine. He actually loves it so much more than his 40 gallon breeder. :) He's always loved to climb rather than move around on the bottom.

    I also hung an owl bird feeder and he's been hiding out in there.

    Here are pictures when I first got him.

    And fairly recents. Also he had a bad shed before I took these. An hour of leaving him in the steamed bathroom, and another 2 hours of carefully passing a warm wet towel over him, the stuck shed managed to come off. He was very happy in the end. :)

    Very nice. I find most snakes other than sand type snakes will climb if given opportunity.

    He is a Normal ; )

    Clowns have an incredibly distinct look with dark dorsal striping, patterned heads, and generally reduced side patterning along with a light tan base coloration. Pastels exhibit lighter, more yellow coloration than normals - though some can be orangy or show greater degrees of blushing.

    Lol - No need for the sadface! Ball Python morphs are confusing... you gotta look at quite a few pictures and individuals in person to catch on. I still have trouble distinguishing some morphs from others and I've been collecting the species for many years = )

    Milo is a very pretty little guy little fellow by the way! Thanks for sharing PennyLane! = )
