    Red face My First Snek! (Coral Glow)

    Hello everyone! Just to introduce myself, I will probably be here asking tons of questions as I don't know other people who have experience with ball pythons, or snakes for that matter. I've done all of my research using online methods and the breeder I've selected seems pretty helpful.

    To give a little backstory, I was originally going to adopt an amel motley cornsnake (which was super pretty, fully grown and tame) but I took too long to pick it up and someone else snatched it. Snakes aren't very popular in my area so if they're up for adoption they usually disappear pretty quickly. After this, I was a bit disheartened but I saw some beautiful ball python morphs being sold on craigslist. They were quite a bit pricier but after doing some research on the general temperament, I realized that they were the pet for me. I really loved the way that they seemed to be a little lazier as adults, and their general size/shape as an adult really appealed to me. I wasn't sure of the craigslist route as I really wanted to have a "pet" quality snake that I could enjoy for a long time, I was very concerned about health and handling, so I decided to go the breeder route and found one that had a really professional look and supplied lots of information.

    My original plan was to spend no more than $100 on the snake, and this breeder had some really nice looking super pastels. And I mean really lovely leopard patterned ones that he was selling for only a bit over my price range. I emailed him asking for more information, and noticed that he had some lavender albinos that were only a tiny bit more... but they were sold out. On a superficial note, I have purple hair and I'm very pale and artsy, and I knew that I wanted something that I would totally love, potentially for 30+ years.

    Sooooo then I saw he had coral glows. And I died. And I spent way way more money than I planned to.

    But like. Look at him.
    LOOOOOOOOOOOOK O______O (breeders hand, not mine)

    You're all so sweet ! It's a male and I'm still unsure of a name. He kinda reminds me of esquite so he might end up being Esquitito if the name sticks. I'm picking him up on Friday night so I will see then!
