Ball Python

Now I need reasons to convince the parental units why I should be allowed to keep a snake in their house......

I would have a problem owning a snake. One day I would look into its cage and it wouldn't be there.

Then I'd have to move.

omg....my friend was house sitting someone that had a 8ft albino boa. Well it got out, and he enlisted some people to help him find it and put it back in. We knew it was in the bedroom, because the cage was in there and the door had been closed. Looked under the bed, closets, nothing. Sat on the bed and the comfortor started moving. I about wet my pants. Snake was under the blankets. It took 4 of us to get that thing back in there. Wasnt mean or anything, just not a snake used to being handled. Never again.

Well, I got a snake today. Her name's Denise, and so far has completely dominated two mice in my care. I'm proud of her!

Pics on the way......

Did you get a ball? Or did you go with a different one? Baby or full grown? I would guess its not a tiny one if it ate 2 mice. Oh yeah, don't feed it in the same tank where it stays. Always take her out and use a different box. Otherwise she'll think every time you reach in to get her its feeding time and you'll always get bit.

Right now, we can't even get ours out of the tank. the male has been REALLY BUSY with both of the girls. Boy after all this, he better get one of them knocked up!

Yup, I got a ball. It is from an October/November hatch of 2005 so it's almost a year old. I thought I heard that the "feeding in the same cage" thing was a myth, but I fed her in another container anyways.
