HI! i just bought my first ever ball python, a pastel female I named indica! I bought her at a reptile show in tampa florida at the state fairgrounds. I got her from this guy Michael Cole who had a Panda Pie morph python, he said it was the only one in the world i thought that was cool.

anyway she was a very modest price, only 150.00$. one of the best looking pastels in the show IMO and the best price!



there she is!

I handled her a little since I got her a few hours ago. only held her for a minute or so and she tucked her head under herself (that means she's scared right?) so i put her back in her tub. i read somewhere where i should wait a couple days after purchasing her before i handle her so that she is used to her new home. should this be so?

also im having trouble getting the humidity in the tub up to 50%. I misted pretty good and its still at 46%. any suggestions?
