I acquired a ball python from my son. She is roughly 2 years old and absolutely adorable. I think that a ball is a great first snake as they are generally quite docile, easy to handle, low maintenance and they don't get too large. My little girl is roughly 30 inches long and quite easy to handle - they don't move fast so you can easily keep an eye on them when they are out. This is my first snake (had her for three months now) and it all seems so natural now. I think that a ball would be a great first snake for anyone but so would some of the smaller boas, etc. This forum is great and the folks here will assist with all of your questions.
