Thank you all for the welcome!!
Ax01 I agree, I need to start digging!
O'Mathghamhna thank you for the book recommendation, I'll have to look for it! I have some story's from my two lizards, we had a rough start because I didn't learn nearly enough before getting them, so I want to make sure if and when I ever get a ball python I will know much more and be more prepared.
Would it be OK if I shared some pics here, or is there a more appropriate place for them?
