I was at the reptile show in White Plains, NY today and decided to (finally!) purchase a ball python. I've been wanting a snake for years and love the variety of morphs that BPs come in.

After hours of deliberation, I ended up with a pinstripe male from Outback Reptiles. Since I'm a new snake owner, I opted for the snake I was most comfortable handling- there were many that looked absolutely stunning, but this guy was very calm as well. Something I need since I'm still a little nervous about handling him!

I'm considering dabbling in breeding in the distant future but for now this guy is just a pet. I do breed fancy mice and african soft furs.

I'm excited to get to know everyone here and learn more about caring for this beautiful boy!
