New Aquisition / First Ball Python

[MisssMariee]

So, I got my first ball python ever today! I have named her Mandy, and she's a rescue of sorts. So, last week I went with someone to get a ball python from LLL Reptiles and this weekend she decided she no longer wanted to care for her since she had to feed her rodents (she was frustrated that we don't have a different alternative). I'm kicking myself for letting her get Mandy in the first place since I helped pick her out, I should have made sure she knew what she was getting into. Anyways, she decided she was just going to let Mandy go. Which, as we all know, is bad for like every reason you can think of. So, I took her. I had to buy her from her today. I now have my first ever ball python, which is not what I intended to get. I wasn't planning on getting one until August-November when we're having 4 reptile expos in my area and I was planning on getting a Piebald male. So, anyways, this is Mandy! She seems nice enough and she's settling in well. I named her Mandy after my cousin who just passed away on Thursday of a heart attack at the age of 24. Feeding day is Tuesday, so I assume I should skip this week or no? Tuesday is the only day I can get down to the supplier and all that, so curious. Thanks!





Sorry for messy backgrounds, the only safe place I have to quarantine her is my walk in closet and well, it's a wee bit messy
