4theSnakeLady:

I have been doing so much reading on ball pythons: reading books, reading stuff online, looking at You Tube videos. In addition to the one book from the pet store, I have two more on the way!

It is a comfort, and a bit of a relief, that I am doing alright by my bp. I think the hardest part is letting her get acclimated. Like most people, I want to interact although I know, for her own good, to let her settle in a bit before I attempt to handle her more. I am hoping she will eat for me on Monday. I will have to keep you all informed!

She is my hiding most of the time which I know is their norm. She did come out for a bit last night to explore her new surroundings before going back into her hidey hole. Whenever I get my first good picture, I will post it. For now, I did get one of her last night when she was exploring. I left the flash off to not be rude! I will attach it to this post! I hope to get some better pictures of her for sure. She is cute!

Thanks again for your feedback!!

P.S. I am an educated Hillbilly out of the hills of Tennessee. I have my own language, Southern, and come up with all sorts of terms: I want to call her hideout a "hidey hole" and her water bowl her "swimming pool". Ha!!
