HEY GUYS VERY EXCITED TO BE HERE!!!!!!!!!! Just purchased my 1st two Ball yesterday at the Pasadena show. I bought them from PAINTED PYTHON i purchased a LEMON BLAST AND A PASTEL. I have owned corns for a few years now and thought it was time to move up.


Im from so cal im 21

Welcome!! Glad that you decided to make the jump to Ball Pythons!! They are extremely easy to care for and most adults will be very docile snakes with great personalities!!

just fell in love at the show im here to learn as much as possible got the basics down just trying to to get my theromstat to stay at 86-88 degrees BOTH cages im having trouble doin this ive been stressing over it big time one got to 92.6 degrees earlier so frustrating

Welcome to BP.net, the bane of Boston Pizza's online existence

Do you know how to hook up 5 wires and use a pair of scissors? Get a Ranco thermostat on eBay for $55 shipped, get a power strip and extension cord for $4 and you can control 6 cages as long as the heating elements are the same.

It can get really frustrating getting the temperatures consistent without something that is capable of doing so. Spend the money now and never have to mess with it again.

i have to do that for sure thanks for the tip

Welcome to the forums!!!

I'm not sure if we met at the show, but welcome!

How was the show? I have not seen any pictures posted yet, don't forget to post your new BPs pictures for us to see!

yes heather we did meet at the show you were very helpful i wanted one of your albinos i believe or maybe it was a pastel i forget talked to so many people but we went for my girlfriend and she fell in love w them lemon blst from painted python and she usually get what she wants lol. im sure there will be more in the future and i will be coming to you for sure.


PS: Heather i was at the Layne Lab table on saturday and i saw you bring over a young lady to look at some mojaves. That was a class act taking time away from your booth to help someone else w a sale and the time you took from the booth. It was after we bought ours but my Girl said we should have gotten them from you just because of that.

i was at the painted python booth when you put the calico on hold she was gorgeous

phil te show was smalll but lots of quality animals and people were there i love everyone i go to big or small
