Pun intended if you read my username

I'm new here, and excited to learn about Ball pythons! I've always had a strange fascination with snakes and I'd like to get into the ball python realm. I'll be buying one in June. I want to research them THOROUGHLY before buying one.

Previous experiences with animals-

1 dog
3 Hamsters
2 Hermit crabs
2 Snakes(One was a milk snake, forgot the other)
I've handled lizards, turtles and alligators.

I love snakes Favorite creature ever.
You don't have to call me Relaxxx, Matthew or Matt will do fine.
