hey! my names tim. i used to have a very large collection of fish species, but since i don't really have the time and effort to care for all of them that i used to, i eventually dissolved my collection and, while looking for a different, low maintainance pet i came across ball pythons. i gotta say, these are amazing animals. i have not kept a bp yet (although i have kept a few other snakes in the past) but i hope to get one soon!

peace
tim

make sure his temps are within range and make sure he has enough hides to feel right at home. Also dont handle him for the next week or so. If you do your only going to stress the animal out even more than he already is from being put in a new home. He needs to get use to his new enclosure before you start handling him or you will cause unnecessary stress which could lead to a vet vist and 30 days on antibiotics
