New to site and thinking about getting a ball python

[Navy]

Welcome to bp.net and yes Bp are great starter snakes. Make sure you do your research on them and hang around on here you will learn a lot in no time.


Why not Petco .. if anything save the darn snake from their mediocre care.
and FYI my first Bp was from petco LOL and I still got him and love him as much as the rest of mine. He is the only one I trust and the only one that will tolerate little kids to hold.

The problem with saving the snake, is that it gives them more business. They'll immediately replace it, and it just keeps going and going.
Collateral damage is inevitable and your one purchase just adds to the millions more.

Also, to the OP: WELCOME!
Bps are awesome pets, I'm sure you'll love them.
Have you ever considered adopting a rescue BP from the site, that way you'll be saving one that came from a bad home or was abandoned and won't be supporting a company who doesn't care for them properly and gets them from sources that are far from a healthy environment for the animals.
