Hi everyone, my name's Amanda. I don't own any snakes as of yet, but I have been interested in getting a ball python for a couple years now. I found this forum while researching what I needed to know before I take the plunge. I've yet to purchase anything yet, but I have my shopping list for enclosure supplies all planned out based on all the great info I've found here. I was also lucky enough to find out that I have a monthly reptile show close to me, and plan on going to that when I'm ready to buy a snake. It may be another month or two before I purchase, but until then I'll be here learning all I need, and I'll be sure to share pics when I can!
