Hey all!
So good news! You may recall seeing a fees posts I've made about it being a while until I could get a ball python (1-2 years from now). Turns out I may actually be able to get one a little sooner than I originally anticipated!
So that means I have to double down on research!
I'll be honest that a ball python will be my first snake (only have cats and betta fish).
I know some don't recommend bp's as their first snake as their husbandry needs are very demanding but I'm not interested in other snakes, at least not enough to commit 15-20 years to an animal for the sake of experience.
So I'm trying my best to research as much as possible about their behavior and care, get hands on experience with bps by visiting pet stores and handling them (I would never get mine from there though) and looking for local reptile shelters or shows. I aware of the work and commitment I'll be getting into and I'm determined to do what is needed to make it work. Even started my own ball python funds to save $2000 for everything I'll need to get startedfound a vet too!
Anyways this is where I could use some help. I've been learning a lot from this forum (you guys have been so awesome!!) and videos from breeders and I believe I've got the basics down but wouldn't mind getting any additional advise on areas that should be studied more or are often overlooked. Especially when I'm starting to bump into conflicting information or topics that have open debates.
So if you guys have any advise or recommended resources (articles, videos, books, checklist) to share please do!
Thanks for taking the time to read this!
