My willpower is nonexistant.

So I happened upon the shop where my roommate got his ball python. I was content to look, until the shop owner plunked this wonderful snake into my hand. He was a 1 and a half year old with a beautiful reduced pattern and a fabulous disposition. He flicked his tongue at me for a minute, and curled up happily. I was in love.

Needless to say, I bought him, and the shop owner is holding him for me until I can get my setup ready. I still don't have a name for him. But I do have a picture. It's me, the snake, and my son going "OMG WHAT'S OVER THERE?!"

He is beautiful! And good for you to make sure you get his set-up all together and regulated before bringing him home!

Awesome! Where in Ohio are you?

I have a similarly reduced normal male. At first, I thought I liked normals better because they're so much cheaper, but I think I genuinely prefer the coloration. Especially the more understated looking ones.

Talk about lacking will power. We only had one at the beginning of the year. We now have 4 here and 5 on the way! Should have seen the look on my face the wifey told me she just plunked down $750 on a pair of Het Pieds. Then she said I had to have the rack system complete this week end. Well the rack system is complete and some of them will be here on Tuesday.

Around Dayton. I have a few friends in Yellow Springs who are ball python owners, too.

Nice buy! ADORE the tail pattern!

He's home!

His size surprised the other ball python fans in the house... they're used to babies, not big guys like Levi (the name I finally chose). I took him out of his come-home box to say hello, and he crawled up my arm and situated himself around my neck, and is looking over my right shoulder. Seems very content.

I'll post pictures in a bit, before I put him in his enclosure to get used to it. That is, if we can find any cameras or Jason's phone charges.

I am SO happy.
