New & Saying Hello!

[wonderwhitters]

Hey everyone! I am new to Ball-Pythons.net & this is my very first post! It's really nice to meet everyone! I am knew to BP ownership, and educated myself/researched for 6 full months prior to getting my first ball python. This is Poe! He arrived yesterday & I couldn't be more in love! He's an enchi lesser morph. He was hatched on 8.24.19. He's currently in a temporary 20L terrarium, that we've customized to make him as comfortable & happy as possible. We are purchasing an Animal Plastics T10 soon w/ belly heat & RHP for his permanent enclosure.

It's nice to meet everyone & be a part of the forums here! I look forward to meeting all of you & your noodles!

Hey thank you so very much! Yes I truly value responsible pet ownership & nothing makes me more upset than those who are apathetic about pet ownership. I'm a vet tech & see some truly irresponsible owners. It's SO important to value any living creature that comes to live in your home. Pet ownership is a privilege & should always be treated as such. Thank you for the warm welcome! ♥

I have been stalking the forums for quite a while & I couldn't agree more. Seems like an awesome community to be apart of & I am always very open to constructive help, and advice. Especially as a noob noodle owner! ♥

That's awesome, I've actually considered going to vet tech school. I'm 40 and have been in the restaurant industry for almost 25 years. Time for a change...

I can only imagine some of the neglect you've seen. Uggggh.

I've long said I feel there should be an application process for bringing pets home. Or at least a general competency test. I mean, it takes YEARS to adopt a child, but anybody with money can walk into a store and leave with an animal... I'm obviously comparing apples to oranges, but we're talking living beings either way.

Anyway, happy to have you on board.

I couldn't agree with you more!! And I say YES, go be a vet tech! If you love animals & have a passion for improving their lives or ending their suffering, I certainly recommend it. It's a wonderful & rewarding career. (Although...I can't say it pays super great. LOL!)

And wow...I wrote knew instead of new. Way to be grammatically correct in my first post! LOL. I looked for a way to edit that, but i'm still learning the ropes here.
