NOOB Here

Hi... I'm Fred and I'm buying myself a regular male Ball Python for my 21st which is this month. I figured I should introduce myself.

Any advice will be a ppreciated. I've been doing alot of reading and reasearch about ball pythons so I know what's needed.

I am getting my python from RCReptiles.com, I figured it's the Closest breeder to NY that i could find, any opinions on Ron and RCReptiles.com?

welcome im a noob too so dont feel left out and welcome to the world of reptiles

Pick up a bit of reading on this caresheet.
Everything in it is important and should be followed as exact as possible! :]

Good luck and welcome!

When you say NY I hope you don't mean NYC... NYC has a lot of laws against snakes, even pythons. :[

LOL... no I live in upper Westechester.

Thanks for the care sheet link. I can't decide between aspen, coconut husk(eco-earth), or cypress (zoo med forest floor betting). Any idea on what would be ideal?

coconut or eco earth is best

Thanks. So I just found out my gf ordered me a ball python but won't tell me the gender or type. I am gonna get it on my b-day on the 27th, I am so excited.

Hi,

Make sure to have the tank set up and running for a week before hand to give you plenty of time to tweak and adjust. :gj:

That way as soon as he arrives everything is perfect and you can leave him to settle in for the first week without worrying things arent right. :)
