Hey everyone!
Music teacher from CT here. I've been wanting to get a pet for a while, and after a long period of thinking and researching, I've decided to go with a ball python! But really though, as soon as I saw their little faces I was hooked. And the more I researched, the more fascinated I became.
So I'm finally going to be getting one! I've been setting up the tank, and this is what I have managed to throw together:
Temps and humidity are looking good, and so all it needs now is a ball python to call it home!
I found this beautiful piebald from Luis Alonso Exotics on Facebook. After talking with him (great customer service, btw!) I made the decision to purchase!
This is the picture that he sent me of the snake. Male, born 2016, 480 grams. He can't send it out for delivery until the overnight temps are warm enough for it to be safe, so it might be a week or two before I get him.
I am a very excited soon-to-be first-time snake owner!! Like I said, I have been scouring these forums and elsewhere and doing plenty of research, but any advice anyone out there has for a newbie would be greatly appreciated!
