Daughter and My 1st Snake

[BillinIndiana]

I have to call Bologna here.

That is a downright lie. LIAR!

You can never have just ONE Ball python....you will find yourself getting the bug and before you know it you will have a rack system built in your spare bedroom with various morphs for breeding projects. You will find yourself unable to sleep at night and load up the laptop and play around with the morph calculator so you can satisfy your desires to breed crazy cool looking snakes. "Just a pet" you say...frakking bullcrap sir! It is an addiction and it cannot be quenched...just satisfied briefly with new "pickups" (which you will spam the forums with the MINUTE you get home and can throw it under a lamp in a white setting to get the best pictures possible while claiming "the pictures suck but the colors are even BETTER in person")

Blah blah blah. We've heard it all before. You're the new kid in class and you have to sit in the front of the school bus...but worry not...the next new kid is just coming home with his new "pet" just now from his local reptile expo....




Welcome to the club!

Yeah, I've heard others say this too.. We're going to take our time and stick with the one till we're sure we know how to care for her.. Then we might reconsider?

Congrats on your baby! However, I wouldn't start handling until it has had at least a week or two to settle in, and has eaten 2-3 times in a row for you. I know its hard to not handle them, but trust me, it well help your snake settle in better, and be better, more well adjusted in the long run, IMO.

I was afraid someone would say this..Haha. I was just trying to rush it a little I know. We haven't messed with her since we put her in the cage when we got home. She checked it out and now is in her hide on the warm side.. As hard as it will be, we'll take your advice and wait till she eats, Thanks
