First I just wanted to say thanks for all the help it means alot, and okay thats nice to here after hearing about an incident my friend had with his when it bit his finger and started constricting his hand and started trying to eat his finger... It had me a little bit concerned but now I am reassured, I will be going to petco tommorrow not to get the snake of course but I want to look and maybe get the tank and suppies and get it set up. Oh one other thing, does anyone know if Petco gets their ball pythons from breeders or from the wild? Thanks again
