hello from daytona

Hello all. This is my first BP. Long story short, my fiancee was against every owning a snake, then two weeks ago one of her co-workers was going to give us a BP that he had bought for his son since he wasn't taking care of it. She was ok with the idea, then fast forward about two weeks and her co-worker decided to give his son a second chance at keeping his snake. Well, I was finally able to talk her into letting me go buy one from a local store. Worked out really great since I had some credit there from trading in a few eels. Picked up the BP, his cage, bedding, UTH, thermometer, two hides, and water dish all for $90. I had them sex the snake, and it is a male. Really do not know much about morphs or anything like that, but he has alot of what I suppose people call alien heads on him, which to me look like ghosts. Decided to name him Ghost due to that. Sorry for the long post. Pics for clicks!

haha, that's very true. My dog cost way more than my 12 snakes combined and needs about 100x more attention. :P

Congrats on the pick up, and welcome to bp.net:welcome:

Welcome to BP.net :colbert2:

Thanks everyone for the warm welcomes

:welcome: to BP.net. :colbert2:

kinda forgot to update this. the day after i picked up ghost, i went back to the store and was talking with them, asking when the last time they fed him was and etc. well they hadnt fed him for a week, and i figured i would try to feed him. picked up a small rat pup, and the moment i set it in the cage with him he struck and fed. took a grand total of approximately 15 minutes from the time i set the rat in to the point he was done swallowing it. i was so happy about that since it seems alot of times people have an issue with their bp not eating in the first week or two. he seems to be doing great. and my fiancee is warming up to him pretty quickly as well which is a good thing in case i ever want add another snake cage to the office!

Hello, and :welcome: to BP.net. Nice looking little guy you have.

thanks. hes so far been a great snake. seems to be pretty laid back and enjoys being handled.

welcome to the addiction..uh, i mean forum :D

yes this is definitely going to be an addiction. just hopefully will end up being cheaper than my aquariums lol.

It is definitely cheaper and easier than aquariums! I just may run into you at the Daytona Reptile Expo Expo Website
