My first ball python!
Today I got my first ball python after many months of planning, and I just wanted to thank the community here for all the advice and help! No doubt I will make a progression thread after my scaly baby has settled in, but for now here are some complimentary pictures!

She is an albino spider, though her spider markings are really faint so she looks almost fully yellow. No doubt after she has settled into her new home, I'll take some more pictures and start a progression thread. Once again though, thanks so much for all the help! Can't wait to hopefully spend many happy years with my new scaly friend.

Haha, I definitely will do soon, but she is in hiding now! It took us about an hour and a half to get her back home, and during the car journey she was moving around a lot, so I wanted to quickly put her into her RUB because she seemed so scared.
Definitely will be posting more pictures soon though, I am so thrilled to have her! Now it is just a waiting game to see how she settles in...
As an aside, I'm still terrified something will go wrong with the setup and she won't survive, even though I've been planning for months and monitoring the RUB for about 2 weeks. I am such a worrier, lol. Fingers crossed everything goes smoothly though.

do not worry, friend. we were all anxious new beep owners once, just like you! be confident in the knowledge you've gained, monitor your setup daily like you already know how, and you'll both be just fine. i'm confident you already have and always will provide a great home for her. 😊

Marzipan  Been dreaming of getting a female albino for months and calling her Marzipan (hence the account name, lol) so when I saw her come up for sale nearby, I knew I just couldn't resist!
