Now my turn for the questions, why do you ask?
Inform me of more differences, since I know I don't know them all!

I'm brutally new here, so I need some filling in!
on the terminology there, QT?
A female ball python usually at most gets to 5 feet. You will never need two people to manage a ball python. They don't get that big. I made the "mistake" of buying a male ball python as my first one. I thought I'd never breed so I picked a male so he'd hopefully be smaller. Well two weeks into owning him and finding this forum I knew that's exactly what I wanted to do one day. But now I have a male taking the space where I could have a female growing up to size for when I'm ready to breed ball pythons (in about two years). Now don't get me wrong he's my favorite, but I sure do wish he was a she. If I were you, I'd start with a female.

QT- quarantine.
