New Ball python owner

Thanks man! I definitely fell in love with it as soon as I saw it, but I'd read that often pet shops clean up the cages every once in a while, so I made sure to check back frequently, and send in a friend to make sure it wasn't just me they saw to make sure the cage was clean and the snake was indeed healthy.

Best of luck when you get yours. ;)

no its totally cool yea i didnt want to know the sex of my snake untill i had her for a week so i understand were your coming from :D

Handling your BP so soon could be putting extra stress on it. When it's roaming your bed, it's looking for a hiding spot, balls love being hidden and a wrinkle in your sheets could seem like a nice place for it.

I agree you should leave him/her alone for a while. As for it 'gripping' you, I think you'll understand in time. It's pretty much just them using you as support.

One test you could try it holding her tail an inch or so from the tip. Mine loves to grip on when I do that almost like a baby (human) holding your thumb.

Pretty snake, btw.
