Hi i have corn snakes and leopard gecko ,i wanted a ball python when i got my first reptile but was put off by people saying they not good starter snakes ,as they can be fussy feeders. So i got a leopard gecko ,i added to them for 3 yrs until i had 12 ,then i did a lot of research on corns and 2 yr got 1 hatchling corn now we got 2 more i added this 08 a amel and okatee ,my first boy is a reverse okatee .For about a year now i been thinking of getting ball python and i been doing research . i took the plunge and have got a lovely little girl coming tomorrow she a reduced pattern i was told ,either way it don't bother me what she is we are going to be calling her Empathy.
