Hi Everyone!!

Hi! This is my first time posting here.

I recently got my first Ball Python. I've been wanting one for ages, and found this little guy at the pound! Apparently, he was a stray snake! Based on the blury pic they had up on the website, I thought he was an adult. When I got there, the pulled out this little guy, who I don't think is more than 6 months old. He was just about the sweetest snake I've ever held, and I had to take him home. Unfortunatly, his exam at the vet revealed roundworms (He went straight to the vet before being allowed in my house...I have two, beautiful, perfectly healthy snakes at home and intend to keep them that way)...but that didn't come as too much of a suprise, considering his orgins. That's being treated with Panacur, and will hopefully clear up soon. He's currently being quarenteened on the other side of the house till I get the all clear.

Other than that.....HE'S PERFECT!!! He accepted a F/T mouse instantly, and is extremely calm and curious. I'm completely in love with this animal. I couldn't be happier. I'm glad I found this forum...I've found forums so helpful and benefitial with my other two snakes...I'm thrilled to have an opportunity to be a part of anouther!

So...Hi everyone!!!!!!

Oh, and Oliver...aka Pickle Bunny says hello too!

Welcome to BPNet Jenn, glad you found your way here! :) Sounds like the little BP will be in good hands, just let him settle in without too much handling for the next week or so and with his vet treatments hopefully he'll do really well for you. We have another member here with a couple of those absolutely gorgeous white rat snakes.
