I have been reading this form for a while to get info and it has been very helpful in helping me get set up. I just got my first ball python today and the people at the pet store said that he hasnt been feed in over a week infact the last time he was feed was last wensday. So while I was there I got a frozen mouse. The mouse is thawing out right now and i will feed him later. It (dont know if its a boy or a girl) is currently cursin around the cage looking for a way out but there is none unless i let him out so thats that. The only thing im concerned about is that earlier i was moving something in his cage and he like hit me with his head as if he where to bite me. I believe its a mixture of lack of food and stress so im letting him calm down now. Hes about 18in long dont know exactly and i dont know his weight. Ill get some pics up later on tonight.
