Good luck with the setup, convincing, and snake! I would kill to have my first Ball python as a morph if I had joined two years ago I've got a Pastel and Spider now, both in shed
Well, this actually isn't my first ball python, I've had two before (as well as 2 boas, not including the ones my parents had when I was really young) but it's been nearly 5 years. They were both normals. I had to get rid of them due to living situations when we made a big move. I only had them for about a year total.

However, this will be my first "independent" ball python, lol. I was about 12 when I had my other two, and I couldn't handle feeding live mice [had no access to f/t then] so regrettably my mother ended up feeding them for me because I would get really emotional. Now that I've grown up a bit and we have access to f/t at the pet store (I already checked) I'm definitely cool with feeding and doing everything myself. Part of the reason that I was getting so prepared and set up in advance (in reality my bday is in two months) was because I wanted to make sure she knew that this wasn't going to be another 'Mom ends up taking care of the pet' kind of deal.

Thanks I've been leaning toward a Mojo, myself, for mostly the reason you stated. Plus I just really like the look of them in general.
