    I got my first Ball Python

    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.

    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!

    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.
