My fiance just bought her first ball python this past week.She was told that ball pythons are the best starter snake she could by.She was also told she could begin handling it after a few days. When we went to another shop(I collect inverts and this place specialized in both reptiles and inverts) they told her that ball pythons are not good for handling and that it was unhealthy for the snake if she handled it at all in the first three months. We were also told two different things as far as humidity. We love all our animals and just want to know what is best for our new addition.
