how much rest does a ball python need? will i kill him if i hold him too much? i just want him to be happy of course. he doesn't try to run away or nothin when i take him out

Of course he (haven't settled on a name but I'm leaning towards KOBE) gets all night to sleep, but most of the time this weekend that i have been awake - i have held or let him crawl outside of his cage

he is very docile - he has not snapped at me at all

got him off craig's list - captive bred hatched from some guys house - mother is captive bred and father is from africa but bought from pet store

this is my first reptile pet - i grew up with dogs - my girl said no pets with fur, and i still caught hell for this one (but he's worth the fight)

i just got mine two days ago, he is 5 weeks old-i actually wake up in the middle of the night to check up on him lol

about a week away from sheding

last feed a week ago - i am waiting for this shed to feed again, I plan to feed once a week to once every 10 days.
