    My first snake!

    Hey all,
    As I'm sure you can tell, I'm new to the forum and new to snakes in general. My wife and I were looking at a corn snake, but ended up with a pastel BP. Here;s a few pictures, please tell me what you think. http://i778.photobucket.com/albums/y...t/IMG_0039.jpg http://i778.photobucket.com/albums/y...t/IMG_0038.jpg

    Welcome aboard! Very pretty little snake!! I do have to warn you though...if you haven't already discovered it, you will soon find that these amazing creatures are highly addicting!

    Re: My first snake!

    Congratulations and welcome to the forum!

    The first is always the most special. I also started out with a ball python, then I got a boa and then a northern pine snake. I love them all!

    You'll have so much fun getting to know your BP and its behavior, and then there is a trust cycle that has to be built going both ways. It's a really special time, enjoy it!

    Thanks all! Addiction is right! After only a few days I was excited at the thought of breeding and my next snake! For now though I think I'll enjoy this little guy and get to know snakes and how to raise them.

    I do have a question about your sigs! I notice that most of you have 0.3 normal, 0.1.0 black pastel etc. What exactly does that mean?

    Welcome aboard and NICE snake!!

    Your question about the signature? It denotes what sex the snake/other animals are:
    first is male, second is female and third means it's unsexed.

    So if you have 6 snakes with 2 of them male, 3 female and 1 unsure it would read 2.3.1
    3.0 Normal Ball Python (Fluffy, Nado, & Muffins)
    0.1 Amel Corn (Red)
    1.0 Hypo Lavender Albino Ruby Eye Cal King (Vlad)
    0.1 Lesser Ball Python (Sophia)

    Well that's simple enough! And thanks for the compliment. I'm very excited about this little guy!
