OK, so my daughter put the bug in my ear about Ball Pythons and I started to look into them. The more I read and watched, the more I thought that this would be perfect for me. I am probably about a year away from being able to get one as I do not have a place of my own right now.
So, I have been doing my research. I have a plan to build a rack that will be able to handle 2 Ball Pythons from babies to adulthood. I am going to let my daughter pick one out and call it hers, and I'll pick another one out.
Well, part of my research involved me going to the pet store between doctor appointments today. They had 2 Ball Pythons there, a Pastel and a Normal, both about 3 or 4 months old. I asked to hold the Pastel and I fell in love. Unfortunately, I could not take him home, but I did confirm that Ball Pythons will be a part of my future.
This was the first snake that I ever held, and he just curled up in my hand. After a while he started exploring a bit. It was awesome. It seemed that he may be getting cold, so I held him close to me and he curled up and rested his chin on my hand to look out.
I guess I'm hooked!
