Hey all!
I'm new to the forum and new to owning a herp. I got a juvenile ball python who is about 1.5 to 2 feet on Friday and so far all looks well. She ate frozen food well on Saturday though the place I got her from was feeding her live. She handles REALLY well and loves being a necklace-snake. This forum has already been a huge help with her! She had her first shed today and since I was unprepared the humidity was low (about 50%) so she had a bad shed. Just finished giving her a soak via the tutorial here and she looks SO much better. I have a vet appointment later today for a general "new-pet checkup" so hopefully all will go well! My only complaint is that my roomie got naming rights in exchange for me being allowed to have a snake and my BP is now named Kluaraz...which to me sounds like something from a rejected fantasy novel so I just call her Klu.

Question though: As I said she's about 2 feet long and the place I got her fed her mice two times a week. As I said, she ate the thawed frozen VERY well, but is a small adult, which is what I have, enough for a snake this size?
Also I've been told that since she is on frozen I will need to give her vitamin and nutrient supplements. What supplements should I look for and how would I give these??


THANKS! And here's a picture of my new baby!
