Getting A Ball Python

[vrp98]

I have to whole-heartedly disagree here. First of all, get the snake YOU want. It'll be YOUR snake after all. BPs are honestly not any harder to keep than corns. I've kept both. BPs can be frustrating with their food strikes, but if you understand the animals going in you'll understand it happens. That's what BPs do. They are well equipped to go months without food and have survived thousands of years doing so.
And as for glass, if you like glass go glass. I started keeping snakes in 1999-2000ish and have used glass the entire time I've been keeping snakes. I just recently bought my first PVC enclosure, but primarily so I can start stacking and consolidate my enclosures rather than have glass enclosures all over the house (plus this makes room for more snakes ). But glass works just fine. It might take a little more effort of the bat, and maybe a few modifications, but it works well. If you want glass, go glass.

Cheesenugget, I mean no disrespect, but I disagree. BPs are the most popular snake in the pet trade for a reason. They really aren't difficult to care for. And I've had years of success with using glass. It takes a little effort, but I'm happy to put in the effort for my pets.

Thank you! I have read that Ball Pythons are picky eaters and if I encounter a real problem (not eating + losing weight) then I will start to worry. I’ve done a lot of research and I am aware of possible problems that might come with keeping a ball python (lack of eating, humidity, etc). But yes a ball python is the animal that i am wanting. I’ve had rodents for years actually and while they are certainly rewarding they are hard to care for because they can so easily get ill. And while all snakes are really cool and all, a ball python is the snake i want! Thank you for all your help really!
