New to the Forum

Hey everyone - my name is Kayte and I'm FrankyKeno and McAdrys daughter, my mom is started to really get me into the world of Ball Pythons and I'm on here to learn some new things in hopes that I may find a new hobbie. My mom has had nothing but wonderful things to say about the people on here so I thought I would give it a shot. My AIM is Ktcmr6 if anyone was interested. I'm 18 and I live in Toledo, Ohio and I am hoping to get my first Ball Python in the next few months...

Welcome Kayte! Glad you could join us here...Its a family thang now! :)

Welcome Kayte. It's nice to see an entire family so in love with reptiles. ^_^

Trust me. You'll learn here.

Hey there sweetheart! Glad you joined and can't wait till we get moved down there end of next week and give you a big ole hug....mom has missed you! :hug:

Glad you liked the pics of the ball python you are considering getting. Jamie is a great guy so I know Lou will be a perfect snake for your first Ball Python. Once we are there we can figure out housing for him and all that before he gets shipped (Jamie said there's no rush). What did Nicole say LOL???

Here's the caresheet link for Ball Pythons for you to read over (see mom is assigning homeword already LOL). Plus there is literally tons of information in the Ball Python forums like Husbandry, etc.

Glad you are here!

Thank you Jamie - I look forward to hearing what everyone talks about and learning new things.

Yeah I missed you too mom, and I can't wait until you come down here and I can hug you but I will probably cry when I hug mikey, he is a great light in my life and I can't wait to watch him grow. I missed out on so much in the last few years and before I know it he's going to be getting married or graduating high school and I dont want to miss these wonderful moments with my little brother. I plan to be a big influence throughout his life and I need to re-connect with him before it is to late.

Thank you Melicious - you can thank my mom for all of our interest or actually maybe you can thank me ( mom ) I was the first in the family to fall in love with snakes but I was more into corn snakes...I hope I do learn a lot while I'm on here.

Haha. My mom was the one who started me out with all of her "tails" of her burms and such. Moving to the hill country was my second jump in. ^_^

I'm so glad you're here. You'll never get bored of this place. I just found out lastnight that Brad/Elevatethis is actually one of the guys I talk to at Noah's Pets. It's a small world after all! I guess I should've known.

If you ever have any questions, don't ever hesitate to ask.

Oh, and you can call me Mel or Melanie.

:welcome:Welcome kayte. It's all in the family now. Very cool.:welcome:

Yeah Kayte! :hug: Welcome aboard. I knew it had to be you when I saw the username. ;) If I can be of any help just let me know. :D

Welcome Kayte!!!! I'm a newbie myself and with a new ball python, who is also my first snake. You are lucky to have your Mom around to help with yours, I know I'm going to be asking a lot of questions.

Welcome Kayte! We're so glad you joined us! I know you're going to get a great baby from Jamie! Look at Gomez! LOL

He actually isn't a baby I produced. He is a smallish guy that I got last year as part of a package deal. He was kept with 2 other snakes for most of his life and stayed pretty small. He is not part of my future projects and needs a good home...I have no doubt that Kayte will provide it.. :)

Hey Kayte!! Welcome aboard!!! :handshake: :welcome: :handshake: What a wonderful treat it is to get to know Jo's children! You have a great Mom and I've no doubt that she has raised some awesome kids!

Welcome! We've got almost the whole family on here now, eh? Jo you are corrupting everyone.. ;)

Thanks everyone for the very warm welcome to my oldest.

For those that don't know Kayte was with Mike and I when young Mikey was born almost 5 years ago. She was a huge help through the natural childbirth (I was delivered by a midwife in hospital) and was the second person, after Mike, to hold Mikey at birth. Kayte was only 14 at the time but was amazingly mature and impressed both Mike and I as well as the attending midwives and nurse. Mikey and Kayte have a very special bond and with Kayte off to college and her life with Nicole they haven't had the time together they used to have. The move to Toledo will be wonderful for everyone!

Now I'll be working to get Nicole, Kayte's partner, addicted to ball pythons as much as the rest of the family because as a member of my family Nic has to love snakes LOL. I know you are reading this Nic, so don't worry we won't push you too fast honey. We'll let the snakes charm you LOL.

Thanks Jamie for offering the nice male BP! He looks just perfect for Kayte and Nicole. We'll get a setup ready for him and then Kayte can arrange shipping with you. She's a lucky new snake owner since I told her that if she helps me a bit with rat cage cleaning she's got free food for Lou the BP every week LOL.

Always a catch with parents. No, mom can't just offer some free rats, there has to be stipulations :D . I am sure Kayte and Nicole will make great parents for this guy. :carrot:

:welcome: Kayte! Nicole, you don't stand a chance, hehe! =D

welcome, it's great to have you here! congrats on your first ball python--i'm sure you'll have no trouble getting things perfect for him. :) share some pics when he arrives!

Welcome Kayte!!! glad to have you. warm welcome snakey squeezes :snake: your mom's pretty well known around here.
