First Ball

New guy here - first post :D

Last week, I helped someone by removing 2 sets of eye caps off a rescued BP. I had never really thought much about them before then - I am a "Colubrid Guy". However, after handling such a THICK, docile snake, I decided it was time to branch out a bit.

I did my research, and bought this little guy today. He ate yesterday, so I will let him settle in for a week or so before I probe "him" to see the gender.

Nothing "special", just a normal. I think he looks rather handsome, though.

Welcome to the site and nothing wrong with a regular bp :)

Gorgeous Ball Python you have there! Good luck with him!

Welcome! You are going to love it here:D

Welcome to the forums! We think that ALL ball pythons are special, normals and morphs! I know you're going to love the little guy!

Thanks for the welcome everyone. I look forward to a long, enjoyable stay.

For what it's worth, I have about 20 years experience with Colubrids, and did extensive research before I got my ball.

All this to say that you shouldn't have too many "stupid" questions from me LOL.

Sorry for the hijack but, SWEET someone from K-town. What part of Knoxville are you from? Im in Seymour.

I live in Farragut. Nice to have another "local" on board. I feel right at home :D .

Welcome! Nice to have you here. :)
I also think your bp is rather handsome. I think bp's are very special looking and just special in general.

Welcome to BPNet and congrats on your very first (but probably not last) ball python! They really are a wonderful snake and it's awfully easy to fall under their spell.
