Hello from Python-free New Zealand! :o

Hi, I'm Laurel, long-time lurker of this forum :) I kept a ball python and a rosy boa as a pre-teen in California, but my parents decided to move to New Zealand where they're illegal. The closest I can get is probably a bearded dragon, lol. However everyday I'm reading about ball pythons and searching for unboxing videos and facility tours on youtube, for the day I move to Vancouver next year as an adult and start my own collection. :)

My favourite morphs are super pastels + killer bees, which I hope to breed one day! In the mean time I'll just ogle all your snakes ;)

Thanks for having me!

Welcome to BP.net! Consider this as time to cram on all the info you can to make sure you provide your snakes with the best home possible, that's what I'm doing while I wait for a situation where I can start getting snakes.

Also I'd suggest using this as a chance to start saving up, this is NOT a cheap hobby!

Thank you! I've got a savings account I've been building to buy my first pastels & their equipment, plus any vet costs, to produce supers one day :D I'm just so excited to leave this evil place, where ferrets and snakes are illegal!

Hello Laurel, and :welcome: to BP.net...

Welcome!! On the bright side you have time to plan and save. :gj:. Good luck with your goals :).

I almost had a heart attack when my husband was looking at being stationed in Hawaii, luckily we landed in CO.

Welcome to BP.Net Laurel! This is a great place to learn all you can about these wonderful snakes!
