I am so grateful to everyone who is offering advice. A little history about me. I have had 2 corn snakes, 1 king snake, and 1 rather mean green tree boa. This is my first ball python. I fell in love with the different morphs and am studying how they are genetically driven. I am so excited to move into the world of larger snakes. I hope what I learn with my first ball will help me become a better caretaker for future pythons I will eventually own. I just downloaded the app that will allow me to share photos.
