Thread: A new baby

With the recent passing of my guinea pig, i decided to down size on my 'furry' creatures and get into more reptiles. I had my corn for 2 years now and i have enjoyed him and decided on getting another snake; a ball python. i picked up this guy from Winnipeg Reptiles while i was in the city yesterday. He is just a Normal but he'll do for a pet, i love him to bits already. So far he's been very nippy will that calm down when he reaches adulthood?

anyway here he is,

He should calm down as he gets used to you. Make sure you don't hold him too much, or he might get stressed out and stop eating. Ball pythons do that sometimes.

Well as a snake lover I think the ball python is a good snake for a beginning snake owner. Ball pythons are not as large as many of the other constricting snakes that are kept as pets, and are quite tame and easy to handle. If proper care is given
A captive bred ball python usually flourishes. This one looks so cute.
