    I'm new, and just saying Hi.
    Well I'm not only new to this forum, but new to snakes as well. I recently purchased a young female Pastel as pictured in my Avatar. I did a lot of research before I bought my first snake. First off I knew that I didn't want a huge adult Boa, or even a Retic. The balls just seemed like a great place to start.

    I just ordered "The Complete Ball Python" and look forward to reading it. Until it gets here I'll probably be asking general care questions that I can't find answers to on my own. It seems that I've already run into contradictions, so I guess I'll take the advice of the breeder I went to. "Just because it works for a guy in Florida, doesn't mean it'll work for the guy in California. They're just too different of environments." Makes since to me.

    I may or may not start breeding, but I figure I have a year to decide before I need to get a male. As everything I have read indicates that the females sexually mature about a year after males.

    Well Happy Herping. :sunny:

    Hi and welcome!
    In my opinion, this is the best place for information, hands down. You will get plenty of good advice, so don't hesitate to ask :D

    Welcome to the forums. Whoever gave you that advice is dead on...there's a lot of things you gotta do to adjust humidity and temps.

    That book is an excellent book. You will not be disappointed!

    I like the 2nd one better, it really shows your snake's color. It is one hot snake though

    What a wonderful way to start into the world of snakes. She's hot. Please make yourself at home, and don't try to wrestle Aleesha for those cookies. That just never ends well.... :rolleyes:

    Actually I already grabbed a handful, and shoved them in my mouth. Now I just need a tall glass of milk to wash them down.
