Ball Python handeling

[Bogertophis]

Thanks for the feedback! Im glad to hear that I'm not overdoing it, he is a great eater so I feel better in that regard. I have had him for a bit over a month. The place I got him form said that he came to the store as a hatchling and has been there since. Weather or not this is true doesn't really concern me because he is super friendly and seems happy.

He sounds like he came thru life in the store unusually well- pet stores are generally stressful places, & also have many risks for the transmission of mites & diseases. I'm glad to hear he finally got the loving home he deserves. You sound a little doubtful that he's been there his whole life too- I have a hunch that he might have been sold to someone & then returned after a time -often times young kids beg for a pet, then lose interest- especially something low-key like a snake- & possibly the store didn't want to risk giving you those sort of details? I guess you'll never know, but I wouldn't worry about it. He's happy with you & you're happy with him- that's what counts.
