Hello everyone!

My name is Kara and I just registered to the site, I've done a lot of previous research on here though.
Well, I'm a worry wart in general, but especially about my new (juvenile) banana ball python, Tidus. My partner
also has a ball python, Cassie. So, I ordered him using MorphMarket and received him not long ago. I don't want
to specifically list which seller because he seems like a really great guy and I don't think he was trying
to do anything shady. Tidus was born in November of 2015 and he currently weighs in at 75G. From everything I've read
(and also knowledge from this awesome local guy who is trying to seriously help out), that seems extremely small and underweight.
The seller says that he was only being fed every two weeks and I'm fairly certain he said that's how he feeds all of his babies.
I was under the impression that they should be fed around every 4-7 days (up to a certain general weight). He's very well mannered and a handsome little guy
and I don't want anything to happen to him. We fed him yesterday, but we ended up having to assist feed him. He killed his prey (he did strike and latch on from the "wrong" end)
and then he couldn't seem to figure out how to eat it, though he gave it a good long effort. Right now he seems to be holding it down. Also, he is a pretty active one and he really
seems to love water. He sits in his water bowl, comes out of his hide when I mist the cage, and he'll occasionally just dunk his head under water and then come back up after a few seconds.
It's adorable. lol. Anyways, I would love and greatly appreciate hearing any feedback and maybe some advice.


Thank you,
Kara Aryana

P.S: He has zero interest in frozen thawed. We've tried several and he won't even acknowledge them.
