New Member

Hello everyone...just wanted to introduce myself as a new member :) My boyfriend and I (sneakerpro) just joined after getting our first ball python. I'm hoping to learn lots because I actually only agreed to this after finding out he could feed F/T, but now that we've got him/her the entire thing amazes me and I want only whats best for our new addition! I had no idea how much work it was going to be getting the cage set up with ideal conditions! Anyway, all suggestions are welcome- I'm new to this and won't take offense to anything you have to say...err, let me rephrase....if you have any constructive criticism that you can deliver in a respectful manner, I would love to hear it! :)

Hi and welcome! :)

I think you'll find that the general "feel" of this forum is geared towards friendly help... your not going to get brow beat for just getting a snake, therefor not knowing "everything" about them... :oops:
As knowledgeable as some of our members are, I don't think any would be as bold to say they know everything! Well.... maybe one! :8:
The care sheets here are imo as up to date as you can find... and there is great, new info pouring in every day!

Ps... we love us some pictures! :D

Welcome!!

He is an 8 month old Western Hognose. Cutest little snake I've ever seen, too bad he likes to go off feed so often...

Sorry to hear that...my boyfriend and I just got our first BP and are having trouble with feeding as well. Although I think ours is because we are first timers and learning how to get the cage set up correctly. I had no idea snakes were such pansies ;) No but in all seriousness I am learning A TON being here, good luck with clover!

:welcome: Don't be afraid to ask questions, and post pics. We love pics... :cool:

Your BP is probably refusing due to the stress of being in a new home. It's nothing to worry about. Thanks for the luck with Clover.

Hey I just saw this thread and figured I would introduce myself also! Dont worry, Im not going to hijack the thread or anything :) I just signed up, my name is Matt and I live in Pittsburgh. I have some ball pythons that I hope to breed next year and hope to gain a little extra knowledge from everyone here :P
