    Another New Guy

    Hey all! Figured I’d drop in and introduce myself as my wife as dragged me into the world of ball pythons.

    What started as a “hey, let’s get a snake”, and the purchase of a normal ball and fancy corn from PetSmart, led to “ let’s go to this reptile show” and that as led me to here. We now currently have 10 balls and that little red rocket ship.

    So, what are we doing? Possibly a little breeding, but mostly pets. We’ll see where it takes us. One thing for sure, we have definitely met some amazing folks already! And we have some beautiful critters!

    1.0 GHI Mojave Fire
    1.0 Banana Enchi Lesser
    1.0 Pied 50% Het Albino
    1.0 Normal

    .1 GHI Hypo
    .1 ODYB Vanilla Cream
    .1 Enchi Inferno Pinstripe
    .1 Pied 100% Het Albino
    .1 Super Pastel 100% Het Clown
    .1 Sugar w/ ring marker

    Not to mention the hedge hog, 3 dogs, 2 cats and some fish!

    Well, your wife has good taste- Actually we like all kinds of snakes here, & many of us have other pets too, so y'all fit right in. As you've learned the hard way, these things are habit-forming.

    Well you've got quite a collection already- looks like you're off to the races. Personally, I never expected to get into snakes but that was many years & many snakes ago.

    The wifey is a bit spontaneous, so yeah, we have a few already, lol. I never expected this either, but really can’t complain as I really enjoy them.

    Now comes the hard part, learning about the morphs and what can be done with the combos. And I thought I was done with all that learning stuff way back when!,

    Nope, there's always more to learn. As fast as you learn the morphs, they're finding new ones anyway! But it's really not work when you enjoy it, & there's a lot worse things to spend time on.
