Ok I'm HOOKED!!!

I just really like the tank because it seem like you can view better. But if I build something it will be built to be able to view them

Hi

I am Paul. I am a ball python addict. I had kicked the habit for 5 or 6 years. Then I got married and my wife said she had never seen a chameleon. I took her into a reptile shop to show her one. Now I have had a total relapse and own 2 bp with another on the way soon..

I feel the exact same way. I know I want a few more, but my main goal is to make Oliver happy. It is a challenge to get everything right, but I like the challenge. Striker looks like a doll and he sounds so nice. I'm looking forward to seeing more pics of this good looking boy.

Congratulations! He is beautiful and what a great set-up. :) These little guys really are addictive, but I have no complaints. They can be a bit of a learning curve but isn't it a great feeling when it starts to click and you can look back and see how much you have learned about their care and behavior? I just can't get enough information these days, and every time I learn anything new my poor family, friends, and co-workers have to hear all about it. It is really a good thing that there are forums like this one to share your excitement with others who get it. I am always a bit disappointed when other people I talk to aren't nearly as excited as I am about it lol, but I can always come on here and feel right at home.

It really is amazing how quickly these little guys can hook you. Most people wouldn't expect a snake to be very expressive or have much of a personality but for me it was like I was hit by a truck the first time I held one. I went from ten years of assuming I was too squeamish to feed them rodents and never really seriously considering it to owning one in a matter of days. I had only asked to hold one at the pet store so a friend, who I had been hyping up bps to as an example of how sweet a snake can be, could hopefully see in them what I saw in them. At the time I had never handled one before and I swear the instant that little guy was coiled up in my palm a switch in my brain flicked. The whole drive home I kept telling my husband we needed to get one. He didn't take me seriously, and honestly I didn't take myself seriously at the time, but the next day I found myself researching prices and breeders (just innocent research, I swear!). The following morning I emailed one of the breeders and my little guy was on hold that afternoon. The feeding thing is so not an issue anymore, I joke with my husband now that I would feed Shesha nuns if that was what it took to keep him. :P

Welcome to the addiction!
