I have found this community exremely helpful as I have been researching Ball Pythons for several months. My entire family is very excited as we are preparing for our newcoming additions via JKR.
I have been very involved with herps since childhood, but have only kept 4 snakes (1.1 GTP, central plains milk, rosey boa). After meeting my wife, who was not thrilled about my hobby, I sold and adopted my animals out to start a family. Of course I believe her pekinese breaking into my 3 1/2 foot Curviers Dwarf Caiman enclosure and My Cuban Rock almost taking her finger off pushed the decission. :(

I never stoped feild herping and 4 kids later, I have a spouse and children now crazy about herpetiles. 2 years ago my daughter begged for a pet snake. After saving up for a year, she settled on a Russian Tortoise.(my wife wasnt quite ready. This is what opened my wife up. My 2 oldest both started begging for snakes and after researching we felt Ball Pythons were the best fit for our family.
Since I am new to Ball Pythons I am happy this forum is here and glad to leave my "Lurker" status :)
