My new pal came in today, his name is Lucifer.
I bought my first ever ball python (ignore how my signature says I have two ball pythons, the pastel is currently on hold until it can be shipped). He is a 100 percent Het albino, purchased from Edens Reptiles. Hes a little snappy, because he struck at me once when I was getting him out of his shipping box to put in my rack, and I took him out for a minute to get this photos, and he was huffing and puffing, all that hissing nonsense, and striking. haha. Well here he is:]

They said he was eating small live rats, he seems veeeeeeeeeeery small to be eating that, Im guessing they meant small as in fuzzies or something. You tell me what he can eat, here is a photo of him (getting ready to strike) next to a quarter for a scale:

Im going to to try to switch him to frozen rats instead of live since hes still pretty young. Any tips on how to do that? I had one person tell just keep dangling it in front of it and tap its nose with it. How does that sound?

Yeah I know to let them settle in, Ive owned quiet a few snakes in my life lol, not to sound smart or anything though. But I am still waiting on my scale to come in the mail, but based on what I was told by Edens Reptiles, he is around 250-300 grams I think.
