Just got a Ball Python

So to follow up on what you should do:

Take the advice given here for husbandry
The snake regurgitated so give it 2 weeks to acclimate and heal
You are responsible for its health and welfare now so try everything to get it used to captivity and after 2 weeks, attempt to feed it. I suggest live prey to start and worry later about weening to f/t.

Alrighty, I'll try my best.

Also start small. The prey in the picture was too large to begin with.

Looks like that explains why he regurgitated it in the first place. I got a hopper since it looked small and at that moment they didn't have any pinkies.

Oh and DO NOT handle him again during those two weeks no matter what you want to do. Leave him alone as much as you can.

Will do. I'll avoid touching him.

He's starting to move around now, but strangely he's completely avoiding the Spanish moss and staying in the few spots that are in the open.
