Ball Python's are great for beginners, easy to care for and normally not very agressive. One resorce you may want to look into is The Complete Ball Python by Kevin McCurley, this book is a little pricy about $50-60 but it will answer almost any question you could come up with. Also if you buy from the pet store you can ask the seller to show you the sanke feeding to prove it is eatting. If they wont show you just tell them you will come back another time when it will feed. Also have your step-daughter do some hard core reseach on them as well that way she knows what to look for in picking out a pet.

Keep us updated on what you guys go with,

Also make sure you research the cage set up because a lot of pet stores will sell you extra stuff that you do not need.

if you have any other questions feel free to e-mail me as well
