I got my first Ball Python

[vangarret2000]

I just got my first Ball Python on wednesday. It's my first reptile pet ever. I am so excited (but also a little scared) so I just wanted to share with everyone. I got the tank pics just before it went into its hide(the black one) on the first day I brought it home. I was told to give it a few days rest so it
s just been in the hide ever since. I can't wait until I can start to hold it.

I have also never post a pic before so i hope it works.

I guess the pics jsut came out as thumbs so you need to click on them to see them. I am not sure what I did.

They are a little small, but I looked at the ones in your gallery. I would ditch the stick on thermometers and get some digital probe thermometers instead.
You should give him a week to get accustomed to his environment before handling him (This will be the longest week of your life).
Great looking snake you have there!

Should I still feed him in that week?

Nope, wait til the week is up and then feed him . remember to wait 36-48 hours after feeding so he can digest safely!

I figured out how to do images properly, so you don't need to click on the thumbs.
