    Intro

    Hey everyone this is my first post here but ive been lurking in on this site for about 2 months now and it has encouraged me to get back into ball pythons, when i was in grade school(8th grade to be exact, i am now 1 year out of high school) i bought a ball python hatchling from a pet store and i asked the guy who was their how to properly take care of my new pet and he told me that i dont need a thermostat,(we all know that that is a must but i didnt know that 6 years ago and after being told from the employee that i didnt need one i didnt get one).

    when i asked him how big of prey i should feed and how often he said mouse 1 mouse pinky every 7 days(i now know that that is not nearly enough but 6 years ago i didnt and i didnt think to second guess the employee cause he was taking care of them). I feed the 2 hatchlings i acquired over the past month(thanks to everyone on this site) rat fuzzies/pups so i was really under feeding my old ball python(that i had 6 years ago) that died(2 months after i bought him) i now know that i was told wrong on how to take care of him so for the past 6 years i didnt want to get another bp cause i thought the same thing would happen... that is until i found this site.

    I now am starting my collection of Bps and am thinking of breeding them when they get up to size, but they are my pets and i love them dearly.

    Please dont criticize me cause of my stupidity 6 years ago i still to this day feel extremley bad for the lack of reaserch that i did and for trusting that store employee.

    Think we would be upset with you for loving snakes, and for wanting to take proper care of your pets?
