hi i am new!

Hi everybody!
:)
I just thought I would introduce myself. I am Fiona and live in Stockport, UK and have joined today.

I don't yet own a ball python. I wanted to try and do a bit of research first. Got a couple of nice books too. It is great to look at everybody's pictures and find out how they find owning a ball python.

Hopefully at some point soon, I will be posting to say I have a new friend. :snake:

Take care from Fiona

hi fiona! welcome to the site!:):welcome::banana:

Thanks for the welcomes and quick replies. No doubt I will think of questions to ask, but I am getting an idea of things at the mo (i think). Like with anything, I guess you guys never stop learning about snakes. :snake:

Welcome Fiona! There are crazy amounts of info here, and super great people that are extremely helpful! Did anyone warn you that snakes are addictive? :D

Yeah I did read on somebodys 'signature' that snakes are addictive! LOL.

You guys have not put me off yet! :D
Tell you what I learnt tonight... Old hat to you guys; but I saw pics of snakes with the cloudy-blue eyes. At least I know what that looks like, prior to shedding, as I expected it to be subtle.
