New to BP.Net

Hello all my name is Kelly and I am new to BP.net. A little bit about myself and my history with snakes.
I have had several Rattlesnakes, Hognose, Bull Snakes, King Snakes, a Reticulated Python and 2 Ball Pythons. The last time I owned a snake was in 08 but was forced to let my wifes family care for the Retic and 2 balls as i was being stationed in HAWAII, all three died within 5 months of me leaving I wanted to cry.
Anyways just stopping in to say HI and Thanks for all the helpful things I have found on this website. I will be getting my first Ball Python in 3 years this Wednesday. I havent found a name for her yet and any suggestions would be much appreciated. She is a Spider morph and almost a year old, I got her from Exotics By Nature from Sean.

Welcome...I feel your pain because I had to let my first one go back in 1998 for the same reason...being stationed in Hawaii. I just recently ended up getting two and couldn't be happier.

Again welcome to the forums.

It wouldnt have been so bad if I could have found a reliable set of people to take them. I had no idea that they would all die that fast which devastated me.:(

Welcome to bp.net.... Make sure you post pic's of your new addition when you get it.....

Welcome to the forum. Sorry about your other snakes. Pictures of the new one soon :)

No problem. As soon as i get her in her habitat I will get my good camera out and get some top down pics for the first week. I think I have made my wife a little mad LOL :D I have been on this website for the last week researching everything I can about how to care for her the right way. She says im too thorough with everything. I will get a good pic of my habitat and you guys tell me what you think.

Here is her Habitat. 90 to 92 High side 80 to 85 low side and 84 ambient with 60% humidity. A little ghetto right now but with time I will make it a nice tank. I know her hides should be identical but as I said with time it will be right, waiting on payday to do a couple more things.

Hi, and welcome!!
I like the name Esmeralda (u could call her Essie) or because her markings have the letters TY showing you could call her Tyler. . .
just a note, she looks beautiful and the setup looks great! I just wonder if you want to let her climb that close to the heat light at the top. . . just my 2 cents. .
