New to site and thinking about getting a ball python

[BallJohnny]

Well i went to a petshop to get a lizard the guy talked me into holding a ball python, i held it then my girlfriend held it and well he shot right for her cleavage and i said i'll take him. but to worn you after getting my first im now looking into a boa lol. They are a gateway snake.

My first ball python was a rescue. She was very underweight, very dehydrated, and had a retained skin. But, she's been with me for a month now and she's gained 10g, eats every 5 days, and looks healthier. I can't see her spine anymore. I've had a good experience with her. I'm already plotting to get my 2nd and 3rd ball python in August once my snake rack is done being built (I just ordered the heat tape, thermostats, and thermometers tonight)!

Ive had mine for a little over a month and i couldnt be happoer, he is a complete jpy. I llove getting home grom work and chillin out with him on my bed. He makes me happy. Im wanting another so bad.but my husbands making me wait a year.

I feed mine live rats in hos enclosure, itss a myth that they will get cage aggressive. Also moving them to feed them.is just stressful.on them.
try f/t first though because live can be dangerous.
