Since I saw your other post, these snakes are beautiful, is this after they were hydrated, fed and warmed up? Or is this another shipment and I missred something?

Whats with the vent on one of the dead ones? Was it probed after it died or what the heck is going on there. I hope all the others turn out to be healthy.

In a positive manor now, those snakes in the photo's look beautiful, there skin is nice and smooth looking, eyes are clear and bright, doesn't presume any gaping or drooling (in the photos here) The weights I can understand about as some people arn't as careful weighing them as they should be. Some weigh some after they eat and others don't want to eat that day and are weighed empty.

I love ball pythons and I think if I got another snake it would be one of them. THey are great pets

Keep up the good work with what you have there

These ball pythons are the same from the bad shipment. They have been hydrated and left to rest. Only a few have eaten after these pictures were taken, so far.

I have no complaint about the balls, except the way they were shipped, which was callous and cruel.

The pictures were taken just to show how they were received and not for any other reason.

Thank you for your insight and critique.
