    Anytime. That's why these places were created. Whats fun about raising reptiles is nobodies a expert. We are all at different levels of experience. And were all still learning everyday. No ones 100% right no ones 100% wrong atleast for the most part..lol. Like someone made a statement saying its wrong for you to soak your animal for hydration when it arrives..see what you heard is right.. And he's also right..if you were getting ball pythons imported from south Africa that's a long trip and what they do is open the bag and soak for 10 mins or so to hydrate them..but now a days more then likely you b.p is captive bred somewhere in the states and is only packaged for no more then two days tops.. That's all..you weren't wrong for thinking that...its good you did your research before getting your animal.. I'm sure your gonna have an amazing time raising you slithery friend.. Congratulations and welcome to the reptile community.

    Yeah it seems like a lot of experienced people have different opinions of the right/best way to do things. So multiple ways work for different people. Very confusing to new people XD. Thanks :)
