Hi Everyone!

Hiya everyone!
My name is Catt and I'm 18 years old. My boyfriend has wanted a snake for a while... We went into our local pet shop at the weekend to buy things for my fish tank, and ended up coming away with a snake whoops. We *thought* she was a cornsnake (I know very little about snakes) but it turns out she's actually a ball python. Which leads up to me joining the forum, so I can learn about them! It's nice to meet you all!

Welcome!

So the pet store had it labeled and thought it was a corn snake?

Welcome. Not sure what the pet shop set you up with, but you may want to read through this:

I think the error was on our behalf, the tank with them in was next to the cornsnakes and they had a few different morphs next to each other and then 'Royal' on the end. We assumed it was a 'royal cornsnake' but alas it was a royal python. Like I said, I don't know much about snakes (but I'm here to learn!) it's my boyfriend who's the enthusiast, but even then I don't think he knows much about morphs and stuff.

Also, thank you so much for that sheet BPGator, it's extremely helpful :)

You should post pics of him :)

I don't have many photos of her yet, but here's a few:

I'm so proud to have her though, cornsnake or no lol.

Haha! She's adorable :) good luck with her. Make sure you have your temps and humidity all set and she'll do just fine.

Welcome and enjoy your stay.
