My FIRST ball python!

[Shawnee]

Hi everyone So, I've never actually touched a snake before, or owned one. I've always loved them, and I've finally taken the step to getting one. I spent a lot of time and research making sure he would be comfortable and healthy here, and today around 11:30 he came home!

Here is my lovely Malachi


It was literally love at first sight. He's such a sweet gorgeous boy! I can't believe how happy I am to have him <3

He is currently in his 90 degree hidey home, hehe. I'm just so excited ;-; I wish I didn't wait so long to get a snake, now I know what I've been missing out on!!

It is love at first sight when you open up that box huh? I just got my first BP too! Congrats! He is STUNNING. Such nice colors.

Thank you guys so much I think Malachi has settled in really well so far. He is a little shy at times, but also VERY curious! I was a little worried because my cat had jumped up to where his tank is, but he just watches the cats lol. He isn't bothered or scared at all! It's so awesome to see him slithering around his cage at night <3

Also he is definitely a little escape artist, I see him slithering to the top of his tank sometimes, but with 2 lock clips and 2 heavy books on each size there's no way he's getting out. And when my vision cage arrives with the lock and key there's DEFINITELY no way he's getting out!

Oh man he's just so cute ;-; It's killing me to not touch him for a week

I hope it's ok to bring up my old thread, I just wanted to post a recent photo I took of my sweet boy Malachi!

He was freshly shed so he was extra bright and handsome This was also his first time outside in the Florida sunshine!

Great looking animal! I know you are very happy with him. I thought he was your first bp. I see you have quite a few listed. Did you get all those since acquiring Malachi?
