What a great forum this is!!!

Well, I have been on this forum now for a few months and I would really like to say what an awesome forum it is and how nice the people have been to me here in this time.I would really like to thank RPlank for inviting me over here after my rather unpleasant experience that I had on another forum.I was actually kind of depressed back then and I did not think I was going to find any other Ball Python keepers to talk to when RPlank dropped in out of nowhere and steered me over here.

Everybody has had great advice for me about my Ball Python husbandry and you all seem to tolerate my babbling on about my three precious babies....my Matrix crew...Trinity,Cyper and Apok.Heeheehee :wink: These are really THE most awesome snakes and I have been spending the last year almost studying snakes in general (fascinating creatures!!! ) and Ball Python husbandry.I would like to become very knowledgeable and skilled in their care as I am planning on breeding my babies in about another year.So hats off to all you great guys and gals and I look forward to talking "snakes" with you all in 2004 !!!!!!!!!!

good post, eyelash... it is a great site, isn't it? just having a place to come and share pictures and events with fellow bp lovers is great.

Oh everybody here is just cooler than Chocolate milk as far as I am concerned.Everybody is pleasant and accomadating to beginning herpers like myself.This other forum I was on for a short time....they practically tore me a new rectum just for being friendly and maybe a bit overenthusiastic...it was nasty how they went off on me.Sheesh...I love it over here...this place is great!!!!!

Yep, this is definitely the friendliest forum I've seen for reptiles of any sort. Y'all are great, and so is John for setting it up.

I agree, this is a great site, I have learned a lot from some great people.

I have only had my bp's since Christmas and never imagined that I would have a snake of any sort in my home, but I am now a bp lover for sure! Just not to knowledgable Yet!

before i found bp.net, i was pretty much a newbie to ball pythons... and i posted on another forum that i was worried because my bp stayed balled up all the time...
i got replies such as "your bp will die tomorrow" and "you are an idiot".
would never expect something like that on this site.
i'm pretty sure someone could say "why does my bp flicker his tounge" and get a real, thought out response... love the site, and glad you feel the same way. i'm sure it makes the pres happy to read things like this.

kori, you're in the right spot. give it a month and you'll be able to help people. this is a very informative site. also, the variations of different methods people use to feed, house... ect. is great to read. really teaches you a lot.

I think it was you Wizill that helped me out with the setup and ditching the light and stuff?????

Its working!!!!!!!!

BTW, how long does it usually take to shed from the time their eyes turn color?

[Wizill]

usually with my guys, although this sort of varies by age... their eyes will cloud over, and about 3 days later they will clear back up. about a day after i can't see anymore cloudiness they begin to shed. so i'd say a week.

oh, and glad i could help...
