Well Robin, this might answer your question somewhat.
From this thread posted by van garret2000 on Feb 21, 2009 (less than one month ago)....I got my first Ball Python
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just got my first Ball Python on wednesday. It's my first reptile pet ever. I am so excited (but also a little scared) so I just wanted to share with everyone. I got the tank pics just before it went into its hide(the black one) on the first day I brought it home. I was told to give it a few days rest so it
s just been in the hide ever since. I can't wait until I can start to hold it.
I have also never post a pic before so i hope it works.
