My first ever snake. I cant wait!!!!!

https://ball-pythons.net/forums/cach...IMG_2053_1.jpg

This guy will be arriving in about 10 days. (Once I get his tub set up and stabilized I will have him shipped) I am beyond excited! I can't wait and feel like a kid during Christmas despite being 33 yrs old. Lol. He will be my first snake and I have spent months researching husbandry and care. Sooooo excited!

Great colour, hope you realise how addictive this hobby is [emoji7]good luck think we all know that feeling

Yah, Iv'e gotten that impression. Hell just researching and this forum are addictive. I spent a pretty penny on him so it will take a while to recoup that. Lol. This is the only one I PLAN on keeping so I figured I would grab something that I loved! He is an Orange Dream x Lemonback x Super Enchi. I hope that his colors get better with age and don't brown out too much because I love the way he looks.

Beautiful little guy you got, congratulations. All my boys are from Garrick.

Any names picked out?

I don't have a name picked out. I think I am going to wait until I get him and see what comes to me. Any ideas based on looks? Id like to hear other's thoughts.
