Hey All!!!

[Simple Man]

I just registered and am hoping I can get some help from some experienced owners.


I am currently a 22 y.o. college student and I am looking at purchasing a Ball Python sometime around August and I am looking for info as to whether or not this is something I can do. As you can imagine I have class for a couple hours most days and a part time job, so I don't know if this would affect owning one as I intend to handle it quite often.

This would be the first snake I have ever owned and some older friends of mine and my parents have said that they are a great starter snake and are fun to own. I am also looking for some recommendations on a book I could buy to give me some tips towards the care and health of a Python. I provided a link below to the one that I am looking at now.

Hope you guys can help me, glad to be part of the community.

First...

Second... That's awesome that you're doing some research BEFORE buying the snake. Most people have it backwards and buy and then do some research.

Lastly... I don't think you need a book This and other forums will provide you all the info you need. It's a pretty good community and there are countless threads that will provide the info that you need. Just try searching and reading the stickied threads on the different forum sub sections.

Regards,
