#blue eyed leucistic ball python

[diaryofamadcatdad]

My newest rescue ❤️

(He is in a quarantine enclosure as he has mites. As soon as he is medically cleared, he has a bigger enclosure waiting for him)

[sisiroos]

My 4 year old ball python named Yuki. He is the morph Blue Eyed Leucistic (BEL) 🐍🥰

[i-m-snek]

Its Leliana's 11th birthday!! 💓💓

[miyahopscotch]

Meet Luna :)

Is not a replacement for my sweet baby Anubis, but it is the new noodle ball to come into the family.

It really is the year of the snake, huh? 🐍

[hisssyfitsss]

Oh boy do I love this guy 💓

This went viral in a reptile group on fb, so might as well share it here too 🐍

new oc 🤯

her name is rhea and she is a blue-eyed leucistic ball python/dragon hybrid [mainly why she has fangs and spikes]

she's also kind of grumpy and also Listen. i know that she has boobs. i know. i also know that reptiles don't have boobs. but she's also anthropomorphic and half dragon so i think if she wants titties she can have them ez

Walks with Aziraphale were always so amusing, especially when he took one of his different forms. Tonight, Crowley took note of a few different reactions:

1. Much to his bemusement, quite a few people crossed the road entirely just to avoid him (he didn't know why, he thought this particular form was very charming).

2. Those who didn't avoid them either didn't notice at all, or cooed adoringly at his companion. A few snake enthusiasts tried their best to impart advice upon him (Yes, he was aware it was a chilly night to have a python outside. Yes, he was aware that he had a few extra rolls on him, and he would appreciate it if they didn't body shame him, please and thank you).

3. He had a particularly interesting encounter with a stranger who tried his best to buy Aziraphale from him (he didn't know whether to laugh or be offended on his companion's behalf when the person subsequently dropped their price offering upon learning he was male. He turned them down, of course).

This just in: local vampire hunter tries his hardest to look cool in front of his crush.

I said soon and I guess I meant now haha.

I could help but draw Crowley and Aziraphale from @mrghostrat 's new Vampire AU (thanks for the permission btw!!) and I'll be damned if I couldn't pass up the opportunity to draw Ball Python Azi after being deeply entrenched in Ball python morphs and drawing them for the past few years.

I'm also a big sucker (har har) for any kind of vampire au, so I was incredibly excited to draw this!! I'm still not confident in my ability to draw Crowley (or jackets oof) but I tried.

On that, while I have ya'll here, a few fun facts about Ball Pythons and Morphs:

Azi looks to me to be based on a Blue Eyed Lucy (Leucistic) ball python. Leucistic is different from Albino - both lack pigment, but Leucistics only lack pigments in parts, rather than entirely like with Albinism. The fastest way to tell the difference is the eye color.

Blue Eyed Lucies have eye colors that range from Black to Blue - blue obviously being the more popular eye color.

The whiter the snake, the more sought after it is (not all Lucies are pure white, depends on the morph combo)

Unlike a majority of ball python morphs, Blue Eyed Lucies don't have a distinct gene combo that defines them. Generally, their morphs included Mocha, Mojave, Lesser, Butter, etc. The combos are generally endless. A Super Mojave (Mojave bred to Mojave) will produce a fairly grey/white snake, but their heads tend to be a very dusty grey, and isn't an ideal combo for a Lucy.

A snake that seems incredibly white when hatched may change color as it ages and become less white. This is common for all morphs, and their patterns define themselves and get stronger with age.

In breeding, males are generally less desired than females, and run at a lower price generally. This is because a single male can breed multiple females, so it's less effective to have more males in a clutch than females.

Obesity in snakes IS a real thing, and generally hard to manage if you do have an obese snake. Snakes tend to retain weight well, so exercise is really the only method to help bring their weight down (plus smaller meals). Good luck if you have an obese snake that isn't particularly inclined to be active.

Ball Pythons generally tend to have what's called a 1,000 gram wall - in which a snake that hits 1k grams stops eating and will not gain more weight. No one is 100% sure why this phenomena happens, but it's incredibly common.

Not a fact but opinion: Paradox ball Pythons are my favorite morph. If you want to see some incredibly interesting genetics, look them up.

Ok so. I needed for a fic im thinking of so I went all out to try to research wtf is Kohane's snake.

Ok so what we know: Kohane has a snake, in one of her birthday cards she gets a silly snake plushie as a gift, which we can assume looks like her own snake.

Knowing that, i went after this silly snake.

First thing: Species. First thing I thought of is a Ball python. First of all bc it's one of the most common snake species in the world, and as far as I can see, Japan does not have any legislation against snakes that arent protected species (at least at importing, which was all I could find, its hard being a writer), so without anything to go with, i chose it, plus its a big species, which I can easily see Kohane liking it better.

So ok, the snake is white, with red eyes, that is usually indicative of albinos, however...

Albinos usually work by taking away the dark pigmentation, which in ball python (and most snakes) does not make them fully white and instead.

Yellow spots.

Kohane's snake has none of those, so I keep searching and come across this morph (variations in colors and patterns/morphology):

The leucistic morph Ball python, its a combination of many morphs and rare to find one that is actually fully white, but...

It has blue eyes.

Back to the search ig.

I come across this one, looks kinda perfect, right? White, red eyes..

One problem, or two. The name i find under it says its a "wedding morph", however...

First of all. The wedding morph is this one

Still very white, but dark eyes.

Second problem of that red eyed one, looks like it has many kinks on its back, which is where the spine goes kinda > and usually does not mean a healthy snake. Is it a genetic thing from the morph or just the specific snake? Not sure actually, but I cant find out without knowing the morph...

Anyways, both the Wedding morph and the Leucistic morph are over 600 dollars, + the cost of the keeping (uv lights, heaters), place it lives (big ass aquariums) and feeding (rats, usually).

So yeah Kohane is richer than I thought...

When I write that, im going to use the leucistic morph, i found it prettier, and here ends my snake ramble.

Beware The Gorgons Of Hatchetfield!

Welcome to the mysterious and magical land of Hatchetfield, where fantastical creatures coexist with humans, even if not harmoniously.

This is an ask blog for a Nerdy Prudes Must Die Gorgon AU. Before anything else, lets dive into the main characters.

The Gorgons

Stephanie Lauter - Transfemme, bisexual, demigod queen. After disobeying her Godly Father during his trails to make her powerful he curses her to be a gorgon. Her snakes are Brazilian Rainbow Boas.

Ruth Fleming - Transfemme bisexual. Her parents had disrespected a god who cursed their unborn child, after being born a gorgon they abandoned her and she was raised by satyrs. She was all alone until she found Steph and Grace. Her snakes are Axanthic conda morph Hognoses.

Grace Chasity - Cis, lesbian. She was a priestess to a virgin goddess and while trying to figure out her sexuality she lost her virginity to a man inside the goddesses temple, getting her cursed as a gorgon and banished. Her snakes are Diamondback Rattlesnakes.

Richard Lipschitz - Transmasc and aroace. He was being forced into a marriage he didn't want and he begged for the gods to save him, one of them took pity on the boy and "cursed" him as a gorgon, being the only gorgon of the group who was happy about the situation. His snakes are Blue Eyed Leucistic Ball Pythons.

The Humans

Maxwell Jägerman - Cis, pansexual, demigod. While making his name as a hero he was tasked by Ruth's parents to kill their wicked monster of a son, but when he arrived all he found was a beautiful woman.

Peter Spankoffski - Transmasc and bisexual. Pete was ordered to get snake venom from a gorgon in order to save his brother Ted from being wrongfully imprisoned, only to meet and fall in love with Steph.

THE SHIP PAIRINGS ARE LAUTSKI, MAX+RUTH+GRACE, AND RICHIE IS AROACE UNINTERESTED IN DATING.

Yuki, ball python with the morph Blue Eyed Leucistic

[i-m-snek]

I dont handle my snakes when theyre gravid(with egg), so half the reason I was excited for Leliana to lay eggs was so i could snuggle her again 🥰

[sapphiresenthiss]

Welcome home, little Orochimaru!

If I had to describe perfection among snakes - that'd be it.

After years of snakeless limbo, I'm coming back with more energy than ever. After months of hunting, finally got my hands on him - a pure white (well, more like light pink right now, this little guy is not even 1.5 month old yet, the youngest I managed to grab from another breeder in my career), completely spotless Super Fire ball python (Python regius).

Until this very day I'd claim blue eyed leucistic snakes are my jam... This changed the second I saw this guy's black eyes with RUBY pupils that look like they're glowing in direct light. Absolutely unreal in person!

Having big hopes for this boy in the future! ❤️‍🔥

If you get this, answer w/ three random facts about yourself and send it to the last seven blogs in your notifs. anon or not, doesn’t matter, let’s get to know the person behind the blog!

Oooh ok hm... three random facts about me 🤔

I have a pet snake! He is a blue-eyed leucistic ball python. Meaning he has blue eyes and white scales. His name is Casper and he's 3 years old! 🥰

I have curly hair. Idk how interesting this is but I couldn't think of anything else. My hair is about a 3A. It's really long too and I try to take good care of it. It goes down to my hips if I straighten it but when it's curly it's shorter 🫠

I think quite a few people know this, but I was in a cult for the majority of my time in college. It was absolutely terrible but it's probably the most interesting thing about me. I was even a guest on a podcast where I told my story 🥲

Tagging last seven blogs in my notifs: @omigoshz @simpxxslutxx @stingr3y @another-night27 @cantchoosejust1

Sorry I don't know y'all, I hope you don't mind the tag 😭
