    Finally Here

    Well my first ball python is finally here. All went well until he struck at me 3 times in the process of getting him from the package to the terrarium. Now I feel I'll probably be intimated every time i try to take him out.

    Anyways, here he is.

    You shouldn't feel intimidated. If I was shipped across the country in a small dark box I'd want to bite people too. Just give him a little bit to settle down. Plus, ball python bites don't hurt. Especially babies. Bug bites hurt worse IMO

    Congrats on your Pretty Boy!
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    yeah I'm hoping he calms down from the trip. Giving him a week or so to get used to everything. It's more the strike itself than the bite thats scary. Naturally I'm going to flinch at a snake coming at me. Hopefully he'll get used to me in time.
