my new BP

hello people!

well, im new to the BP world, i have owned other snakes in the past, i started out with a garter snake, then i got another garter followed by a gopher snake, then my really big boy! i got a Boa constrictor!

they was along long time ago(about 10 years) i have not had a snake for 10ish years and i just got this which i believe is a female due to size and small spurs, she is 2 years old.

thanks, the annoying thing is.. i just got her 2 days ago and she had already started her shedding phase so i am yet to really handle her.. im waiting till she gets thru the shedding first..

teh guy i got her from said she is dead docile and has never even struck at anyone nor even the glass with the kids tapping on it.. we will see!:)

Welcome and good looking snake!
Mike.

:welcome:

Can't go wrong with a ball python!

It'll be fun to see her after her shed with her full colours blazing in all their glory.

Best of luck with her! And be sure to post updated pics after she sheds. :gj:

The agony of avoidance:) your doing the right thing letting her get settled in and having a shed occuring at the same time.........tie hands behind your back and have others help you with your day to day needs till she is ready:) lol

Congratulations! Be sure to get her sexed to be sure at some point, because I've got females with spurs bigger than some of my males, and some males with barely detectable spurs. With ball pythons, you can't sex by spur size.

Be sure to post pictures after she's shed!

Hi, and :welcome: Grats on your new pickup. Most ball pythons go into shed right after a move into a new enclosure. I believe it is caused from stress. Make sure his / her humidity is around 60 or 65% until after her shed.

Welcome. Nice looking snake.
