Newbie- i heart balls

Hello all! My name is Chris and seem to have the same addiction that you all have. I am an old school herper than has been silent for many years. Now I'm slowly getting back into reptiles with a small collection of Ball Pythons. I have enjoyed the vast information that this site offers and the characters that exist here. Thank you for the opportunity to be here. Chris

Welcome Chris! Good to have you here. :handshake

Welcome to the site! So what part of the country do you call home?

Jeanne, thank you for the warm welcome! :)

xdeus, thank you for the welcome! I'm a Texan, cb born and raised.

W00T!

Welcome aboard! We all <3 our balls! Of course that is always better than :club: ing them ;)

(need some card suit smileys!!!)

Welcome aboard! If you've got pictures to share of your critters, we're always hungry for some!


I grew up in Dallas and also lived for years in San Antonio. I <3 Texas! :D

Smulkin and JLC, thanks! I am planning to take some pictures this weekend to share around. Texas is a special place for sure! Although AZ is nice too ;)

Sweet!

You'll find you have gallery space available - there should be a few stickies in Site Info forum covering the ups and downs of uploading and posting them - even a video tutorial authored by iceman25 (props again Raj!).

If you run into any problems feel free to shoot any of us a PM!

Welcome to the forum Chris and glad you've joined us! I'll try to not lead the "HI CHRIS" supportive response (then we show you the free coffee and donuts) and you tell us about your herp addiction and then we all hug! :)


Mr. Smulkin Sir I did try to find card suit aka poker smilies and the only dang site that advertised them didn't have them!!!! (I say we gang up and storm the site demanding our dang poker card smilies!!! :bonk: )

No worries I can make them from scratch just like my kungpao cheeken!

frankykeno, thanks! This is certainly an addiction. I went from zero snakes to too many in about one week :O

Where is Adam?? I figured he would be busting my balls since I'm a fresh newb and all...

Here is one of the male albinos that I picked up from Bob Clark recently. Pretty dainty compared to my clown mitts!

Let's see, I picked up a pet ball python in July, and I currently have seven now at my home, and 3 het males at breeders (two waiting to be born) and hope to get four or five more females. Naw - I'm not addicted! LOL

Welcome fellow herper!

Thanks all! :love:

rabernet, I see you have fallen for the Adam ball bait. Why just this morning I had two of his balls in my hands admiring how perfect and healthy they are!

I love these message boards...so many people get to talk about handling Adam's balls...really makes a Friday morning, ya know? ;)

I know, right? I looked at lots and lots of balls when I was shopping. Adam's balls where so nice, it was an easy choice! Adam really likes his balls and was eager to send me pictures of them. One ball was slightly smaller than the other ball. At first I was concerned but Adam convinced me that once I had his balls in my hands I would never give it another thought. Sure enough, now I can get enough of fondling his balls on a daily basis!

Children...children...children...let's make nice with the posts please LOL.

Sorry frankykeno, I just get so carried away when I think about Adam's balls sometimes :oops:

LOL I know and I know the thread is harmless but we do have a number of very young forum members here (one of them being my own 12 year old daughter) so just a bit of a gentle reminder about staying family friendly. :grouphug:

:grouphug:
