Lololol... sorry for the cheesy title. But I just had to. Since the name came about a few weeks ago once I chose my guy that song seems to play non stop and that’s how I sing it now... haha
Anyways. I wanted to intro the forum to my newest snake and first ball python... THUNDER. He is a cinnamon banana morph by way of Kicks Balls and Fred Kick. Before I even get into thunder I have to tell everyone about my experience with Fred. I got the snake bug and started to research and joined here. I saw that there were two local NY shows near me. One that just passed which I couldn’t attend and another coming up next month. I did the google search and ran through some breeders across the country. I scanned a vendor list and I saw the name Kicks Balls. I mean too funny not to click especially since they were in NY and attending both shows. Then I go to the website which has the most amazing logo of a sneaker w a python subbed out for the swoosh. I’m a sneaker (kick) guy myself so it seemed like a match made in snake heaven. As if that wasn’t enough. I saw a number that said text or call so I shot a text figuring I’d get a basic answer or told to order online. Instead, I made a friend. Fred will probably tell you I’m a pain in the ass, cause I am, but he never showed it. We exchanged multiple texts pretty much every day since and he never once shied away from my questions or was short with me. Even after I paid for my snake 2 weeks ago, he was still there. He had my money and could have easily went MIA but nope. Every dumb question I had he answered and then some. So I have to saw what a true pleasure !!!
On to Thunder.... he showed up today in amazing condition. He was literally poking at the bag to get out. I have watched a lot of unboxing videos online and they all seem to be balled. This guy was allll over. The heat pack was warm he was packaged perfectly. I had him shipped to my local fed ex center and he was there by 845 am.
I made the mistake of giving the exoterra 3D background a shot. He got back there right away. So I ran out and grabbed some plants to create a barrier. If he still works his way back there it’s coming out. He’s been all over the enclosure today. I was joking that he’s like the first person in the Real World houses who goes to every room to pick the best one. It was like he was test driving every spot. Hot hide check. Cold hide check. All over the back ground and behind as mentioned. I guess he needs to get to know his new home and settle.
Temps humidity and enclosure seem to all be doing well. And I’m going to keep a close eye on him as he gets settled in. Thanks for looking and I’ll keep posting !!
