Sorry...its a nice representative of a ball python, but I'm not impressed easily with something that everyone and their brother has.

Sorry...I didn't mean to discourage you. I just have really exotic tastes when it comes to snakes that make me say, "Wow!"
I know I have a BP, but he was my first snake, and I've had him for over 14 years (he's at least 17). He's been my best bud over the years, but I'll probably never get another ball.
Yeah I'm going to agree with Ophiuchus. Often, people find out I keep snakes and they start telling me about how they or their brother or friend had a ball python. I feel bad, but it's hard to pretend that I'm really all that impressed or intrigued when folks start that up.
Of course, when it happens to me anyway, it's usually some goth kid or one of those baggy-pants guys with white shoes, backwards cap, and a tricked-out Honda...someone who thinks it's really hardcore to have a ball python.
I'm glad you're enjoying your snake though; they can make good pets. I just don't think you should be surprised when people don't jump up and down and hoot and holler when you show it off. Kind of like with most corn snakes....great pets, fun to have, but not terribly exciting anymore. Even though they're still cool

I'm impressed, nice BP!

We all have to start somewhere guys

I used to REALLY, really like ball pythons ond ball python morphs when I first got into snakes. But Now, I dont really like them. I'm more a fan of Boas and Other Pythons.
Nice set-up though, I've used those same type hides for baby turtles as theyre easy for them to climb onto.

Well, I am not some Goth kid or anything like that. I am a woman just showing off her pet reptile. Thanks for the compliments on him anyway.
