Hey all,

Go easy on me, this is my first time lol.

I just bought a male ball python, my first snake, and I have a couple of questions.

1. They say he is about one. Is that a baby still? Is there a certain bracket for age with them?

2. They say he is about one, but he is over two feet I want to say, does that mean he is closer to two as I have seen they grow about a foot every year for the first three years?

3. How can I take him out with me in public? Any thing I should bring? Anything I need to be worried about?

4. Stupid me went to pick him up about 30 minutes after his first feeding with me to put him back in his tank. He bit me (Barely have a few teeth/fang marks). How long do I need to wait to transfer him? Is there a better way than just moving him by hand? Is it normal for him to go to bite at me like that?

I am sure that I will compile more over time.

Thanks in advance guys/gals!
