Hello, all. I just got a ball python about a month ago. My very first reptile pet. I absolutely love her (I think it's a female, but not 100%). I am keeping her in a 20 gallon glass tank with two hides, a UTH under and an overhead heat lamp where the one of the hides is. So far so good. The snake had one shed (not the greatest shed, but she looks beautiful and bright with just a few spots of old skin) and one successful meal (a F/T hopper mouse). She is about a year old from what I understand and is very, very tame. I handle her every day, sometimes several times a day. I have two kids 8 and 14 year old boys who also handle her as well as my wife. The snake seems to be totally cool with everyone and is just a joy to have around. I just wanted to say hello to the community and show off a few pictures:

I am sure I'll have questions. Lots to learn. I've been reading this forum's FAQ's and tutorials. Thank you for all the info!
