I'm very excited to share my articulated Ball Python Snake. This is a hefty fellow. The base length is 24 inches, BUT that's just the starting point! With a new snap-fit body joint system and the additional Body Extension Links, you can make it as long as you want! Each Extend Link adds another inch to the total length. Try different colors to add a striped effect. There are no limits! How long will you make yours?! This model is Pre-Supported (no added supports required).
Here is a quick video showing how to remove the Pre-Support and snap-fit the head onto the body (demo'd on the Leopard Gecko) Please, share photos of your makes! I would love to see them!
