Hello, and :welcome: to BP.net. "Herp" is a shortented form of Herpetology, which is the study of reptiles. So it is common for reptiles to be referred to as Herps...:gj:

Welcome to ball-pythons.net :headbang:

Welcome! Congrats on becoming the owner of ball pythons. Just a heads up, they are addictive. Just go through the caresheet and be sure you are housing them separately. Good luck! :D

Welcome... I too am fairly new here; however, I have been keeping reptiles and Ball pythons for quite some time.

I am also located in Las Vegas. If you ever have any questions, or if you need local help... Don't hesitate to hit me up.

oh wow.. uumm there are 2 and no... they are together in a rather large glass habatat. They seem to spend most of their time curled in the 'rock' hide but do on occation coil in seperate hides... there are 2 one is a tree looking thing and the other is a rock... the rock is warmer as it is closest to the heat light. Being in Vegas they don't always need the light but I notice when it gets over 85 one will be by the far end and the other in the tree.... lol

so far no major issues but I have managed to be bite by them both, just once each haha showing me who is boss at feeding time :P
