Pastels and Persephone

So for this week, I thought I would talk about my biggest girl, Persephone.

She is a Pastel Ball Python. She weighs more than Jasmine and is a little bit bigger. There isn't really much size difference between my girls but Jasmine is actually a little bit longer than Persephone.

I feel like Jasmine is special because she has a marking shaped like a heart. This photo was taken not long after I got her earlier this year.

Florida Reptiles

So I'm from Florida and we have a lot of really cool reptiles around here. Most of the reptiles in the video live right in my backyard!

My first post

Hello!
I'm Alsatia and this is my blog.
I just figured that I would start my blog off by introducing the snake that started my interest in reptiles.
If you look up at my header you can see my first little noodle. She was so tiny when I first got her.

She was a present from my cousin. she couldn't have been more than 100g. Right now she weights over 725g.
She's a normal wild caught ball python.
Ball pythons have been in the US since the 90s. Normals are the most common ball python morph. But since they aren't expensive and ball pythons are fairly resilient, which makes them great starter snakes. However, some ball pythons are picky eaters and ball pythons regularly fast which can scare new snake keepers.
But I love them and think they are great pets.
