Hey all my name is Nick and I am from the swamplands of northeastern Ohio, at least it seems that way because it has rained so much this year! I am 24 and just purchased my first ball python a few weeks ago. He seems happy and healthy and loves his f/t mice. He is slowly warming up to being held. He is about 4-6 months old, probably about 14 inches long. I havent had him weighed yet but I will do that. I must say, thank God for tubs! You all have beautiful snakes and I cant wait to get to know you.
