Well I made a post awhile back regarding some ball python information and mentioned I was waiting on getting a snake. I work at a local pet shop, family owned - that just takes great care of animals. So I decided to be patient and get my ball python from their breeder ( captive bred ). Well I showed up for work this afternoon and my manager surprised me mentioning we got abunch of lizards in, and of course I asked about ball pythons! Out of the three we got, this fella had the best color, and was nice and shiney. Mite free, and looks great. I got all of them out and was holding them, this guy seemed the most active. After helping customers with him around my arm for a good hour or so I decided to feed them all. The minute I dropped him in the feeding tub he struck and got the mouse, quicker then the other two. So I think I got a healthy pick!

I purchased a setup - cave hide log, under tank heater, a rough rock for shedding, and a branch. Not really much but I used some aspen bedding, plus the bed a beast mulch stuff. Also tossed some terraium moss stuff to kinda hold moisture and add to the decor and theme. I had unlimited resources working at a pet shop so I just kinda went with what looked tropical themed! I need to pick up some sort of thermometer as I just totally forgot when heading home with him and supplies after my shift.

Let me know what you think!
