Hey everyone! I'm the proud new owner of a Ball Python! thought I'd swing by and say hey!

Been reading through the posts here and decided to become a member

Anyway, heres a pic! He (im fairly sure its a he!) has some sticks now and a rock with holes in to play with.

I've had him now for a week (hes about 15 days old now), i've handled him once and I have let him settle for the past couple of days as I am going to try and feed him tomorrow night (I tried a few days ago and he didnt eat, I assume its due to a new environment)

Anyway, hes become a lot less reclusive in the past few days and no longer appears to be trying to escape! Preferring instead to climb around on the branches and yawn a lot! Today he even decided to take a nap outside of his hidebox for the first time and he hasnt curled himself up into a ball or hissed at me when I was changing his water so I assume hes beginning to feel a lot better about the whole situation.

Any advice/tips would be appreciated but most of all it'll be nice to talk to some people about my snake without boring the crap out of them!

Thanks
