Same- I wanted a ball python, never even touched a snake in my life before, got my first baby ball shipped to me 2 years ago. I now have 5 ball pythons, a dumeril's boa, and a green tree python. All have always been healthy with me. Being an avid researcher PRIOR to getting a snake is key, and that's pretty much it.Originally Posted by Kira
A ball python was my dream snake and I did a bunch of research before getting one. I have never owned a snake before so I wanted to make sure to have my husbandry spot on. Now I have a healthy ball python who hasn't missed a meal in the 3 weeks that I've had her.
Some people over-complicated snake keeping so much, like owning a low-intermediate level species like a ball python is something only meant for "gods". Oddly enough, most people who say this are the ones who have had issues with their snakes.
