Hi, I'm new to the forums.
This is my new, and my first ball python. I've waited for 16 years to finally get one. He is roughly 40", but I haven't weighed him yet. I got him from a breeder who said he was from his breeding stock, and was 4 to 7 years old.
I don't know if it's just me, but he seems a little lean. Could you give me your opinions as to his health (weight-wise)?
Also, there are a few leftover scales from his last shed, and what looks like mineral build-up around his face from the water. What can I do about that? Should I avoid rubbing his face?
Last question, I'm stuck on a name. Any ideas?
