Which sex B/P has the better disposition, the male or female? Also, is it better for a beginner python owner to start with a baby python or a more mature snake?
I have been contacted by a local pet shop that had someone drop a ball python off because they couldn't keep it any longer. The owner has no idea how old the snake is, sex, or anything else. The woman brought it in in a pillow case and just handed it to him and left. He is wanting me to adopt the snake but I am leary for several reasons. The guy isn't even sure it is a ball python and said it is probably about 2ft long, but he can't really tell. It sounds like ti's a young snake, but again, I haven't seen it yet.
I do want to get a python, but I don't want the husbandry thrust onto me like this. Does that make sense? I am sorting through this site and trying to elarn all I can before I step out on a limb and get one of these things. I don't want to own one of these reptiles if I can't raise it and care for it the right way.
I'm used to the bearded dragons and iguanas, but pyhtons are a whole different game entirely, or at least I think they are. Any suggestions and help is greatly appreciated.
