I finally have a ball python to call my own My girlfriend works at a new Petco, which just opened this week. The snakes didn't come in until yesterday and she immediately called me and told me they received several BP's. On top of that, they were on sale for $29.99!!! To top that off though, I receive 25% off with her discount so I got a 6 week old BP for only $22.49

I already had a 30x12x12 aquarium and the other stuff I needed, besides a hide out and heat pad. A couple of years ago I watched my brothers Columbian Redtail Boa for about 9 months, so this is not my first time around snakes.

Anyways, I have done plenty of research before I ever purchased a snake, and the only thing that troubled me was hearing all of the horror stories about how people cannot get their baby pythons to eat mice. Regardless, I bought one.

So tonight, I bought a good sized mouse so I could begin training him to eat. I thawed it out, and warmed it up with the hairdryer a little bit, put it in the aquarium and left. I came back 30 mins later and the mouse was gone

I was so excited that Monty at the 2nd night here. I don't have any pictures at the moment, but my camera is on charge so I can post a couple tomorrow sometime.

I'm not sure if it is a boy or girl yet. I will probably take it to a vet in a couple weeks.

I'm very exicted to join this place in owning a BP
