Kona Progress

[SIZE=2]Back in April I joined this group and asked for help with my new ball that wouldn't eat. I have never owned a snake before and what possessed me to want one at my age, 49, I have no idea but I enjoy him so much. I owe most of that to the people in this group. Your advice and knowledge helped me get Kona eating and his environment just right. I had researched before getting him but clearly the info wasn't as good as it is here. I battled mites because he came from a Petsmart and we won. I got him a bigger enclosure which he loves and he's been eating consistently since May and 3 perfect sheds. I didn't weigh him for 1st time til mid May at 180g. Today he is 300g. I'm going to try to include pics if I can. Just wanted you all to know you are a big part of our success and I'm so grateful for your advice and support. Special shout out to Bogertophis. If I can't upload here please check out most recent in my gallery. Would love any opinions you have about him.

49? Aw, you're just a 'baby'! ;) Snakes are great pets for adults...they're quiet, not demanding, don't need walked in the cold, never claw up the furniture...
they're beautiful & relaxing, what's not to love? And it's never too late..."old" is when you quit learning, trying new things or enjoying life.

Glad you beat the mites, they're horrible pets! :D

Glad your little Kona is doing great, and I gotta agree Bogertophis does give the best advice and has helped me with so much about my ball python too, we love you. :)

Alright, cut it out, you two! :P I don't currently even KEEP any BPs...there's plenty of BP-experts around this forum...but I'm happy to try to help when I can. :snake:
In time I hope & suspect that you'll both be answering questions for other new keepers here too...it's the best way to help snakes receive the excellent care they deserve.
