thanks to the both of you! we definetly want a nice well mannered snake.. my husband wouldnt tollerate anything less. so far he seems to really enjoy all the attention i just wanted to make sure it couldnt harm him, i know balls are different and they are perfectly happy hanging out in their bins lol.. my spider ball is a curious little booger but the other balls would just rather relax, i love that i have jaxson and impala who seem to enjoy the interaction. thanks again!
