Hi everyone my name is Lauren, 21 years old and new to owning a Ball Python named Rio . He is 20 days old as of today and he has been with me for 3 days now. I will probably have lots of questions but please bare with me until I learn all the ins and outs of owning a BP. I live in southeast Michigan with my fiance and our 2 dogs (Cali, a yellow lab and Gunner, a lab mastiff mix), Rio <3, and my beta fish. I have wanted a BP for so long and now that I am moved out, and convinced my fiance to let me have one..da da daa I now have my very own BP! I will now see ALOT more of my 17 year old sister since she is also part owner of Rio and is in love with him.
