I just brought home my baby ball python two days ago. She is very active so far. The breeder told me to leave her alone for the first week so she can get acclimated. I have gotten her everything she needs with the exception of food which I'll need next week. I have done some basic research on BPs but just looking for important tips I might have missed. Also wanted to mention some things about her behavior I want to make sure are normal. She likes to lift the top half of her body way up in the air.. Does this just mean she is checking out her surroundings? Also she likes to put herself in her water dish. As far as feeding goes I've read conflicting things about live or frozen. She was eating live with the breeder but I'm thinking of trying frozen because it is safer. Also I have read on here that getting bit is to be expected.. I hope that's not the case. But anyway I have enjoyed her so far and can't wait to see how big she will be one day. Also I read that I should establish a relationship with a reptile vet in case anything comes up in the future.. Do I need to take her for a checkup? If anyone has a general tip they want to share it would be appreciated. I have attached a pic from when I first brought her home.
