I have been researching for awhile now and now I have been able to get a ball python of my own. I am loving owning a snake, it is definitely different than owning most normal pets though. He is a 3 year old male Cinnamon who I bought from a couple off of craigslist. He is a great snake who has a very calm demeanor so far. I have only had him about a week, so haven't fed him yet but the people said he feeds great. We will see tho! Here are some pictures to show him off. We have tried to let him be mostly but even when we take him out to clean his tub he doesn't seem to get upset and even let my girlfriend's four year old pet him. I am trying to use all the info I've read to take the best care I can of him but it is a learning process.
