I signed sphere about a month ago. Found this site through a google search and that's it really!
However, I don't own a Ball Python yet. I do have experience going back to 1996 with reptiles, primarily day geckos and herps with poison dart frogs. Have no immediate plans Toby a ball python. What I do plane, is next October there is large reptile show in my area, Long Island, that I may buy a ball python from. I want to get a 75 gallon/48" wide tank, have all properly set up long before I have a snake. And I'm leaning toward a normal ball python. To me in what Ive already seen it appears the issue beyond good husbandry is feeding, but that the same time they may also relate to one another. And I'm sure that long timers with these species and others have learned that husbandry has seriously come a long way in the last ten years alone. So, looking forward to participating here.
