I renewed my interest in snakes as pets after going to an outside festival, and talking to a girl that had her ball pythons with her. (not exactly the best of ideas) Anyway, I was really impressed with how her ball pythons acted and started research.

I stumbled across kingsnake.com and then found the Chiago Reptile House website. Then I found it was exactly one week before the Tinley NARBC show. I had Intend to go down and buy all the caging, and get everything setup, and then going to the show to buy the acutal snake. After getting to the reptile house, I asked to hold one of the ball pythons, since I'd know that the record for lifespan in captivity was 40 years and I wanted to be sure I still wanted one.

Jeff, I think, deposited a baby ball into my hand and then went back to working with some other customers for a while. The ball python prompty peed all over my hand, and began looking around. Sometime later, I drove home with caging and the baby ball previous mentioned.

Issa is now a whopping 1300g male and for whatever reason, is still eating like a pig for this time of year
