    My First BP! 09 male Lesser
    Hi, just thought I'd introduce 'Lemon', my first ball python. I got him at the Ontario Reptile Expo this past Sunday. He's a late 09 Lesser. Snapped some pics before putting him in his tank to settle in. Thanks for looking!

    Gonna try feeding him on the weekend, hope he eats... I'm so nervous after reading posts about BPs refusing meals! Anyway, here he is:

    Very nice!!! Just leave him compltely alone till you try feeding him this weekend. He's nice and fat, so I wouldn't be too worried.

    Thanks for the advice Stephanie! It's so hard leaving him alone :D I've seen him exploring everyday, usually around dusk, so I hope that's a good sign that he'll eat.

    If he roams a lot it's not a good sign. Make sure his hide is nice and snug, that's usually the problem most new bp owners have. I use the small plastic pots for hides and solder a 'doorway' in them.

    I know it's hard to leave them alone!!! But you can do it! Just look at these pictures any time you think about putting your hand in the tank/tub!

    By the way, welcome to the forum and the addiction!!!

    Welcome to the forums, and nice to see another ontario person! I went to the same expo sunday!

    Very pretty!

    A bit of roaming is fine, as long as it's not for too long. If you have the husbandry correct then you're good to go until feeding day!:gj:
