Hi! I am thinking about getting a male ball python (not to breed, just because they stay a bit smaller ) and I have some questions. First of all, this would be my first snake and reptile in general, so forgive me if i say something wrong! My first question is that I have 2 guinea pigs and I'm wondering if It'd be OK to keep the snake in the same room? Idk if the snake could smell the gp and get stressed or vice versa. Also, Is it better to get a baby or to adopt an adult? I thought maybe the older one could be more used to its previous owner and be harder to tame. And, I was planning on keeping it in a 20 gal. while it's young (like 1-2 yrs old) then moving it to a 40 gal. But I saw a guy who just keeps his bps in a 20 gal. their whole life because they are very inactive? What should I do there? And does anyone know a place where you can get cheap, healthy ball pythons? I do know a guy who hatched 2 normal, male ball pythons about a year ago, so I might just purchase 1 from him Thanks in advance!
