What was it like the first time?

Exactly! And just like christmas, I already know what I'm getting, and cant wait to play with it. ;)

First thing, most of them seem to want to explore. You'll see them enter into one hide, and then exit it and go into the other hide, then try slithering up and out of the cage, and finally they settle on a spot and curl up.

Cody, congrats! I know you've done your homework and are completely ready for her. I'm excited for you. :)

man i wish i was as perpared as u were lol. good luck and i hope ya get a chubby baby j/k lol.

i think cody wins the gold medal by a landslide when it comes to preparedness and having done his research before getting his snake. :mrgreen: :winner:

I agree. GOOD JOB. I just love it when someone really digs deep and does som serious research before they plunge into things. All the ball pythons i ever had behaved the same way. For the first week they hide and come out at night or peak their head out. Then they become more comfortable and they start exploring.

Wow, thanks guys! Yeah I made sure I was prepared for this. I sometimes still have doubts about whether I can handle it, but I'm sure I'll manage. I've got the tank set up perfect right now, and the snake is literally on her way from Toronto. A neighbor offered to pick her up since he and his kids were going to Toronto for a fair and to see some relatives. So in about an hour or two I'll have her in my hands finally. Can't wait.

Sorry for taking this thread off subject. We can get back to the topic. I'll post how Pelota settles in later. ;)

forget the topic, this is exciting!!! :mrgreen: well, ok, maybe we don't have to totally forget the topic. :wink:

I still think I deserve a cookie.
Good Job on your research Obi Wan Cody.
I'm proud of you *tear*.
