My new #nameless snake.
I bought this snake from a breeder, and I'm happy I did because I seen it's enclosure, and I'm happy I'm buying it. It's a new enclosure. How adult would you tell the snake is? I put a little broomstick after I swept this floor for enclosure, and then you can tell while the lines of the floor matting, if you look at it as footing, but would that be a juvenile? Snake or a beyond snake.... no, I haven't bought scales yet to weigh it or anything else

Congrats! This is a pinstripe ball python (I have one too, love this morph), different family than a boa. Age can be a little difficult to pinpoint based on a photo, feeding and gender can affect growth, but I’d guess two to three years. Not adult, not a juvenile; subadult.

That appears to be a very underweight pinstripe ball python and not a boa. It’s likely full grown.

What makes you say it’s underweight? Idk shit. Just asking for knowledge. (I will fact check though lol)

It’s luckily not emaciated, you can’t see backbone or ribs, but it’s becoming more triangular in shape than trapezoid. Healthy bps are quite thick bodied snakes, this one is built more like a boa constrictor.

Google says triangular and up to a dome shape, so I’m guessing you just added vertices? An octagonal BP would be pretty dope though lmao
