Kona Progress

[LisaG]

[SIZE=2]Back in April I joined this group and asked for help with my new ball that wouldn't eat. I have never owned a snake before and what possessed me to want one at my age, 49, I have no idea but I enjoy him so much. I owe most of that to the people in this group. Your advice and knowledge helped me get Kona eating and his environment just right. I had researched before getting him but clearly the info wasn't as good as it is here. I battled mites because he came from a Petsmart and we won. I got him a bigger enclosure which he loves and he's been eating consistently since May and 3 perfect sheds. I didn't weigh him for 1st time til mid May at 180g. Today he is 300g. I'm going to try to include pics if I can. Just wanted you all to know you are a big part of our success and I'm so grateful for your advice and support. Special shout out to Bogertophis. If I can't upload here please check out most recent in my gallery. Would love any opinions you have about him.

49? Aw, you're just a 'baby'! Snakes are great pets for adults...they're quiet, not demanding, don't need walked in the cold, never claw up the furniture...
they're beautiful & relaxing, what's not to love? And it's never too late..."old" is when you quit learning, trying new things or enjoying life.

Glad you beat the mites, they're horrible pets!

Glad your little Kona is doing great, and I gotta agree Bogertophis does give the best advice and has helped me with so much about my ball python too, we love you.

Alright, cut it out, you two! I don't currently even KEEP any BPs...there's plenty of BP-experts around this forum...but I'm happy to try to help when I can.
In time I hope & suspect that you'll both be answering questions for other new keepers here too...it's the best way to help snakes receive the excellent care they deserve.
