    Cool New snake

    I just got my first Snake today, a Ball Python, ~14-15 inches. He's very active, and very friendly. When I picked him up at the pet store for the first time, he curled around my fingers, didn't show any signs of fright. I was just wondering if there was any advice anyone could give me, tips, and what to expect as it grows. Thanks in advance.

    Congratulations!

    You are a step ahead of me mate! I am here to learn a thing or two, and hopefully get a ball python after we have been away.

    Do post a picture when you can.

    Talking Re: New snake

    Awesome, man! I just got my Ball Python as a surprise a few days ago. He's amazing. I really do hope you have fun with your brand new herp. I can't believe how perfect as a breed Ball Pythons are. Are you feeding yours pinkies or fuzzies?

    Ok so I read about how it's a good idea to cover 3 of the walls, but I was wondering, would Tinfoil be ok to use?
