I have 3 corn snakes and I simply love them. I am considering a Ball Python, this would replace the Rosy Boa that I recently lost. I think I am looking for stuff like:

"They're great, BUT...."
"I have one and he is...."
"I would not recomend one if...."

Any words of advice would be GREATLY appreciated!

"They're great, BUT..."they are very addictive!
"I have(7) and they are...."wonderful snakes!
"I would not recomend one if...."you don't like snakes!

I don't know of any bad things I can say about them. I love them! As long as you can handle the ocassional feeding strike, they are easy to keep. They are gentle, slow moving, stay relatively small, not aggressive, and there is a HUGE variety of colors and patterns to choose from!

Good luck! I hope you decide to get one!

My first snake was a corn. Now I have 4 corns & 3 balls. One 4month baby,one yearling,&one 5 year old. I love my balls!!!
I do not think you would regret a ball purchace.

Thanks for the responses!

I found a guy in my area that wants to sell his BPs. He has a male and a female, both 2 1/2 years old and 4 foot long each. He says they are perfectly healthy, eating well and that he is letting them go because he cannot afford to care for them and his red tail on his waiter's income. He is keeping the red tail. I am seriously considering taking him up on his $100 offer.

Any words of support or warning?
