Beautiful animals. Never seen a royal (ball) like the one in your third picture, I think again the US probably has more variations that the UK. I'd love to see some more pictures if you ever can. We are big on pictures on here.
Are your mice and rats breeder/feeder animals for your snakes (and ferret? Dog too??) or are they pets?

The mice and rats are feeders. My ferret, hamster, and my dog are all pets. And yes there are so many different morphs of royal pythons. The white girl is called an ivory Thanks so much!

Haha read that back and it sounds like I'm asking if your ferret and dog are feeder animals, I hope you understood that I meant do you feed the mice and rats to them!

Haha no they are fed just to my snakes, but i guess i could fed to the ferret as well. Just a bit nervous about feeding him live since he is so young.

Don't feed live rats to ferrets! Rats are much too vicious and can cause serious harm. You can, however, live feed mice if you're so inclined. Having said that, you can pre-kill the rats and feed as whole prey once Booger is fully switched to raw, I'll tag bitbyter since he raises ASF rats as food and can probably explain the process much better. PS - congrats on passing 15 posts - it wasn't hard at all, was it?

Sorry to post again, but do you have a pic of your chameleon? Is he/she really as bright blue as on google images? I had a veiled when I was younger and loved her to pieces.

I personally wouldn't feed anything live (I'm too soft and get too attached, I'd be naming them and buying them stuff...), but I've heard plenty of warnings and horror stories about feeding live rats (mainly adolescents and adults) to anything. Nasty set of teeth, lots of power and intelligence. That said obviously you haven't had any problems so I guess your snakes are fine with it, not something we recommend on here.
If your ferret is still pretty young you may want to wait a bit and let him build up some jaw strength. Of course you'd have to take over and finish the kill if he botches it.

Your "zoo" is adorable! Your snakes are very beautiful, I used to have a snake too (garter snake named Sushi ) that I got when I was in kindergarten. My parents wanted me to play soccer, I wanted a snake, so we struck a deal! She was a very sweet and calm snake. I would love to see the rest of your zoo if you have more pictures!

I dont think i will ever feed booger live but if i ever change my mind it would definitely not be rats lol. And yes the chameleon is really that blue! He changes with his mood though to green some yellows and if he is really mad or cold he will get like a grey color. Right now he is shedding so hes not as blue as he usually is but ill see if i can find a pic of him fired up (fired up means when they are at their most vibrant colors). And i most certainly can post more pics i love showing off my babies.

Does he do stripes too? My veiled got light to dark green, sometimes brown-ish, or sometimes green with brownish stripes/other patterns. When she died she turned completely black

They are gorgeous! I used to work in a reptile house in a small petting zoo, we had a few chameleons but they were hard to care for, needed everything perfect. They were smaller than your chap though, is he a little more robust or do you have to be on your toes to keep him happy? His colour is amazing and he looks so healthy. Love to see more pictures of him and his set-up. I think I'm in love! haha

The panthers i think are a bit more robust, but he definitely lets me know what and when he wants something lol. I used to have jacksons chameleons but i have sold them. The jacksons are the unforgiving chameleons. They will not tolerate even the slightest change in temperature or humidity. Ill have to post pictures of them as well as the baby jacksons.
