Hello everyone. My name is Alexandra, but please call me Alex, I'm 19 years old, and I live in Wisconsin. I finally decided to join a reptile forum and this looked like the best one out of the bunch =].

I have recently acquired a Ball Python (6 weeks tomorrow), and I am very much in love with him already =P. His name is Zeus (oh so original, right? =P) and he is my first reptile ever. He is living in a 20 gallon tank with screen top, and the humidity stays at 50%, temp at 85 degrees during the day (90 under his basking lamp), I am currently using Douglass Fur bark as a base, he currently has one hide box (well cave actually) but I will be getting him another, and a large bowl for water. I have both day and night lamps that rest on top of the screen top and a towel over the large exposed screen area to keep the humidity higher. He is now currently eating pre-killed frozen Hoppers, and I think that's all..

In addition to him I also keep many finned friends as well and have a 29 gallon nano reef tank, 38 gallon cichlid tank, 55 gallon Fish Only With Live Rock tank, and of course the 125 gallon Saltwater Reef Tank =]. And the inhabitants are 2 False Percula Clownfish (mated pair =D), 3 inch Yellow Tang, 1 1/2 inch Hippo Tang, Coral Banded Shrimp, Fire Shrimp, Blue Maxima Clam, Giant Feather Duster Worm, Tiger Oscar Cichlid, Jack Dempsey Cichlid, 8 inch Pleco, and of course a couple button polyp coral colonies. Yes, I am fish obsessed as well.
