Ball python breeder in Cabot, AR. PM me for any info on available babies. The Ball Clan is my collection of ball pythons.

It all began September 28, 2005 with the acquisition of "Bryan," followed by Kay in January, 2006, but didn't become a collection until 2009 with the hatch of my first clutch which gave us Ace and Brianna. We have come a long way since those days, and I hope you all can enjoy taking this adventure along with me.

Updated list of ball pythons ready to go as of 8/21/24.
Most of these are this year's babies, but I do have 3 adult breeders up for rehome as well.
PM me for more info about any of these.

I finally shipped my first snake this week (pastel highway female 24-G1, working nickname "Scary Spice" 😅).
She arrived safely at her new home this morning. ☺️

08/13/2024

Simple combos can be pretty too.
These are my two favorites out of Clutch 24-A: A4 (granite) and A9 (banana granite). These babies started small but they are eating now and starting to put on weight. I'll be doing an update video on this group soon.

08/12/2024

Dang, guys.... Clutch 24-K is turning into a disaster. What started out as 7 eggs is now down to 3. 😫
K3, 6, and 7 died very soon after being laid, and now K1 has died too.
I haven't had a clutch go like this since 2017, when Clutch 17-P dwindled from 7 eggs down to 2.
It's the unfortunate reality of this hobby. Sometimes you just have a bad clutch. We are about a week and a half away from midterm on these.... hopefully these remaining ones K2, 4, and 5 will hang tough. 🤞

08/11/2024

One last update on the babies of Clutch 24-Q, as Q1 will be leaving us today.

08/05/2024

Granite girls A1 and A4 have become my new fastest feeders, taking their first meal at only 12 days old.
It won't be much longer before this record becomes unbeatable, seeing as they usually take around 10 days to complete their first shed cycle.

08/03/2024

"Purple" out for pictures today. He isn't as purple as he used to be, but still very pretty. ☺️

Clutch 24-Q (Queso X Stain'd) group photo. ☺️

07/30/2024

I need to mention two other members that turned 10 this year, that I missed in all the hatching excitement. Both of these hatched with me.
Top: Trinity (14-M3) was 10 on July 27.
Bottom: Amber (14-B4) hit the 10 year mark back on June 24.

07/30/2024

Our most popular ambassador and de facto mascot, Tusk, turns 10 years old today.
His anniversary for coming aboard is in October, but his hatch date was 7/29/2014.

07/29/2024

Group photo of Clutch 24-L (Lucy X Tyrian) before L5 left this evening.

07/23/2024

Pulling the last clutch of the year, Clutch 24-K (Kali X Tyrian).

07/23/2024

Kali finally gave up her eggs, now on Day 53 post shed. This shatters the old record held by Ditto of 41 days back in 2017.
There are 7 eggs; 6 appear healthy.

07/23/2024

A4 out of the egg, and A1 finally has her head out.
These are the last of Clutch 24-A, and the last hatchlings we will see until September.

07/23/2024

A8 is out of the egg, and the second baby to perch on top of poor A1.
I'm not sure why her egg seems to be the premier spot in the incubator.... 🤔

07/22/2024

24-A2, A3, A7, and A9 out of the eggs today.

07/22/2024

24-A5 and A6 out of the eggs tonight.

07/22/2024

All 7 babies from Clutch 24-Q have taken their first meal, and all except Q4 have shed. Occasionally a baby will skip its first shed and I think that's what Q4 has done since she has begun feeding, so I've got pics of all 7 here.

07/21/2024

Clutch 24-A showing the first signs of life tonight, as A6 has his head out.

07/20/2024

Clutch 24-G babies update.
Should have posted this yesterday but better late than never. :)

07/20/2024

Sneak peak at 24-Q7 my little paradox pied, freshly shed.
Still waiting for Q4 and Q6 to shed out, then I'll post all of them.

07/18/2024

Pulling Clutch 24-I (Ifrit X Quarry) this morning.
🐍🥚🥚🥚

07/18/2024

Eleven (that's right, 11) eggs from Ifrit this morning. Officially my largest clutch of all time, breaking the record of 10 in 2021, set by this same girl.
Pairing is superfly yb X super gravel.
Cut date approximately Sept. 13.

07/18/2024

Still no eggs from Kali, on day 47 post shed. She has Ditto's 2017 record of 41 comfortably beaten.
I guess she's just going for padding now. 🤷‍♂️

07/18/2024

Cutting Clutch 24-A (Amber X Bryan IV) 7-17-24
It looks like we finally have an answer on the granite line I've been working with.

07/15/2024

The first ball python I ever hatched, Brianna turns 15 years old today, unfortunately in shed for her photos this morning.
She was the first one out from a 2-egg clutch on this day in 2009.
She is the largest, and most docile, in my collection.

07/13/2024

"Brambles" out for pictures today.
He is my 2022 banana lesserbee (22-L7), same combo as this year's 24-L3, L5, and L6. This is roughly how they will color up as adults.

07/13/2024

Big birthday (or hatch day) cluster this week.
This is the first of three posts. The holdbacks from Buster's legacy clutch with Brianna (Clutch 20-B) are 4 years old. Basil (July 12), Mabel (July 11), and since I am babysitting her, Luca (also July 11).

07/12/2024

The babies of Clutch 24-Q

07/12/2024

Still no eggs from Kali, now on day 41 post shed.
She has now tied Ditto's record (2017) for longest hold time after pre-lay shed, and looks to surpass that, seeing as there is no indication that she will lay tonight.
Ifrit, meanwhile, is on day 28 post shed and so could also lay her clutch at any time.
These are my last two gravid females of the season.

One last update on the babies of Clutch 24-Q, as Q1 will be leaving us today.

Pulling the last clutch of the year, Clutch 24-K (Kali X Tyrian).

Clutch 24-G babies update. Should have posted this yesterday but better late than never. :)

Pulling Clutch 24-I (Ifrit X Quarry) this morning. 🐍🥚🥚🥚

Cutting Clutch 24-A (Amber X Bryan IV) 7-17-24 It looks like we finally have an answer on the granite line I've been working with.

Cutting Clutch 24-Q (Queso X Stain'd) and a post-cutting update the following day. These will be spectacular when they hatch out......

Cutting Clutch 24-G (Garnet X Ivan) 6/10/2024. I'll just say that I am..... happy with this clutch. ;)

Pulling clutch 24-A (Amber X Bryan IV. Nine healthy eggs in this one.

Update on the six babies of Clutch 23-T as of 12/16/2023. Lets look at happier things today! Two of these leave for new homes tomorrow so I want to get them all on camera while they're here. :)

Cutting Clutch 23-T, last clutch oof the year, and we might have saved the best for last!

Cutting Clutch 23-M (Mabel x Buzz). Great odds on this one and I'm looking forward to seeing these out of the eggs.

Quarry has arrived safely. Here is the unboxing. :)

Come on little S3. You can hang in there. 🙏

This is unfortunately a sad reality when you breed animals. Sometimes you have to accept that there wasn't much you could have done to help.

Update on the babies of Clutch 23-G and cutting of Clutch 23-S (Saffron x Gary). We saw better odds on this latest clutch, assuming we have healthy babies from Saffron this time around. 🤞🤞

Cutting Clutch 23-G (Garnet x Ivan). These babies are very much ready to hatch so we should be seeing them out very soon. Garnet carried the eggs, but that's about all she contributed. It looks like she was pretty stingy with her genetics, unfortunately. 🤷‍♂️
