Did I get lucky with my BP or are most of them like this?

My 3 girls all have slightly different personalities. Chiquita, my Banana Yellow Belly was the most flinchy/jumpy but she has noticeably mellowed out very quickly. She still flinches a bit, but you can feel her relax now.

Daenerys, my BEL, is the sweetest. When she is out she will explore only as far as she can without letting go of my hand. She will stretch out and look around, keeping her tail wrapped around my fingers, even when my hand is on the couch, and she always returns back and rests her head on my thumb to just chill.

The other night when putting her back in her tub, she stretched over to her water dish, flicked her tongue at it a couple times and then stopped to take a good 30-40second drink before working her way down and towards her hide. It was so cool watching her take little gulps of water and she only let go of my hand once the first third of her body was inside of her hide.

My point, they are all a little different. Sounds like you got yourself a good one.

My gosh I love that! Bel sounds like a sweetheart. Now that I have one python I can not stop craving more. But I’m resisting my need to have more haha. I won’t get a pet unless I am 100% ready and can fully provide them with all they need. And so I know it isn’t the time. But I am hooked. I even kind of got mocked the other day when I called two exotic veterinary clinics by my house not too long ago just for asking if they take ball pythons because I was ‘just looking for resources in case my snake gets sick. I don’t want to wait until last minute to know where to go’. Both vet clinics were like ‘ooooookay?....so do you need anything?’ Yes I do. Peace of mind and satisfaction of my desire to be the perfect snake parent. 😩
