Full Grown Ball Question

A friend of friend has a full grown python that needs to be rehomed. I'm new to balls and fallen totally in love with them. I currently have a baby ball. I'm thinking about taking the full grown ball. I was told that he hasn't been handled a lot. I am wondering if there is any problems getting a full grown ball accustomed to being handled. He is currently a live rats. I would probably wanna attempt to move him to f/t. So what do you guys think?

Sure, it will take time and patience but definitely doable.

If you can take care of a baby you can take care of an adult. Appropriate sized food and occasional handling. Just because it hasn't been handled much doesn't mean it will be mean or unmanageable. It's all up to chance.

I'm partial to Nikolia Von Slither :P... Just a thought.

Dawww, that pic makes me want to hold my ball.

The pic is the cage that the previous owner had him in. There is no way they had the heat or humidity right. Going to make a run to the pet store tomorrow and get him set up right. :) My daughter is pushing hard for Nagini but I'm thinking that has to be way over done right? lol

I like that!!! LOL

My babygirls name is Nagini. My boy came with Cheddar as a name... I don't have the heart to change it.
