Re: Possible new addition
honestly this was my first exp ive been too and was just walking around looking, most of the normal ball pythons were $20 but i saw this 1 stand where the guy had several different morphs and then normals for $15, im not an experience snake keeper yet, but i do have a baby kingsnake i got about a month ago, and have had no problems with him, he eats very well and did a full shed, soo im sure i can handle another baby, if not ill ask questions, and ill be sure to check out the babies and look for any signs and ask them about it.

Re: Possible new addition
I definitely reccomend Balls, they're excellent snakes. That being said, do make sure they're fit and healthy! Look at a lot of photos of young Balls and learn to tell a skinny, sickly Ball from a healthy one. Also make sure they are captive bred, not just captive hatched!
Balls are awesome, I just love them.

Just keep in mind, feed responses from ball pythons and kingsnakes are very different. Kingsnakes will eat f/t you leave on the floor of their enclosure. Ball pythons are not scavengers and will not. What works for one species doesn't always work for the other.
Just want you to be careful - sometimes a good deal, really isn't.

usually when i feed my kingsnake i use these somewhat long metal tongs i guess u can say and dangle it by him till he attacks instead of just dropping it and leaving it, but im glad you actually care and what to make sure i have info and dont get jipped on this, i would hate to see there be something wrong with them, buut if they're in good shape and everything, then id be getting a lucky deal. =)
