This is Nyoka, a normal Ball Python I just picked up last week. Not sure if it is a boy or girl, got it from Petsmart which wasn't the best choice in hindsight but the snake looked(and still looks) in great shape. I'll take it to a good reptile vet soon to get it sexed and checked out. Got it eating f/t every 4-5 days and so far everything is going great!
Right now my wife and I don't have much room but we're getting a new place in January(kid on the way) so I'm only using a 10 gallon terrarium right now. Going to either upgrade to a big tank or just build something myself when Nyoka gets too big for the 10 gallon tank.

Aspen bedding, a log hide that the snake loves, water dish deep enough to take a bath in, acurite digital thermomter/hygrometer and a UTH on a controller that keeps the hot side 90-95 degrees. I use a separate smaller plastic tank with newspaper bedding for feeding time.
So yeah I've fallen in love with this little snake and I hope that its just the beginning. I love animals and I hope to learn enough about these guys to have a bunch and maybe even breed them one day. Hey, go big or go home right?
