Hello everyone, my name is Samantha, most people just call me Sam or Sami!
I've got a juvenile ball python, and he's been home for about 5 months now. Just a bit about my baby...his name is Boots (I live with my parents as I'm only 19, and this name was a condition of him living here!). His first shed was a month after I got him, and it went absolutely perfectly. He didn't eat for the first 4 weeks I had him, but has since never had a problem feeding. I started him on one mouse "fuzzy" and recently moved him to two "fuzzies" because he's still too skinny for bigger prey, but he's gotten significantly longer. So far he has not show any signs of illness, and I hope it stays this way! He's only ever bit once, when I reached in during feeding mode without thinking, and he immediately let go and ran to his hide. I handle him almost everyday. He's my first snake, but I can't wait to get more!

This is a picture of him right after I brought him home.
