Meet the Animals: Ball Python!!





This is Peanut, our wonderful Ball Python. He is a sweet little guy who is always curious! We bought him for m y birthday at a Petsmart after nearly a month of searching on craigslist. The ladies there we very helpful after he refused to eat for two weeks. He looks a little weird in these pictures because he was about to shed. Normally he is much nicer looking! He lives in a nice 50 gallon tall glass aquarium with plenty of room to climb and bask in! He eats frozen pinkie mice once every four days or so. Occasionally we have to force feed him because he is kind of a reluctant feeder, but were hoping he will get the hang of it soon enough. Other than that he is just the most wonderful pet snake anyone could hope for! He has never bitten or acted aggressively against anyone and he is super cute! He loves to hang around in my shirt and generally chill out. He adores being held and is very curious. Sometimes i get him out and put him in my bed. He loves exploring all the nooks and crannies in my bed and is very fun to watch and hold.

In our opinion Ball Pythons are the best snake to have as a pet, being extremely docile, loving to be held, and growing to a very small size, perfect for beginning snake owners! They are also relatively easy to find on craigslist, which is always better than buying one at the store.
