    First Ball Python

    My first ever snake... I have 4 boys and they are so exicited (and so am I ) only had since Saturday and any suggestions are welcome... he/she is just about 4-6 weeks? The place I bought from stated they feed on Wed .. tried tonight and "storm" just not interested. I have heard they can be very difficult when so young.

    Hi there and welcome to the forum. Congrats on your new addition

    I suggest taking a very close look at this caresheet to be sure your husbandry is correct. Quite a few "pet stores" give out bad advice to new owners, and then the snake refuses to eat because it's stressed out. If you'd like, you can give us a detailed description of your setup.

    To post pictures, upload the image on a hosting site such as photobucket.com or tinypic.com and copy and paste the IMG code here

    What a cutie! Looks to be about 6 months. Not weeks. It's got good size to it.

    Welcome to the Forums. Your BP looks fit and healthy. I'm sure it'll begin to eat for you once it has a chance to settle in to it's new environment. I agree with Foschi, that snake seems to be quite a bit older than 6 weeks. 6 months makes much more sense given the time of year young BPs usually hatch. Might even be a touch older than that. Either way, that's a fine looking BP!

    Have you had a chance to weigh him yet?
