As the title pretty accurately describes, I am new here! I have had herps before(an iggy, russian tortoise and countless frogs, toads, ad lizards) but I am new to snakes. I've always desired one since I can remember, but I've always lived with people who weren't as fond of snakes as I am... so I resisted. Now, I live with only my bf(who LOVES snakes... thankfully !) and we have decided the desires were too strong, we have to get one! After some searching, I am thinking a ball will be the best suited for our home.... and after a few great reviews of this site, I have decided to continue my research here! I wont be getting him until February or later, so I have plenty of time to get the knowledge, and of course supplies all ready for my new friend!
