Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Hello All,

My name is Samara.. I am new here and not used to navigating these pages. I need to do some research on Ball Pythons, from beginning to end. Who can point me in the right direction? Either on this forum, or books, websites, etc. Need everything from history of to correct husbandry to breeding/genetics.

Thanks in advance~!
Samara, who wants to do it right the FIRST time!

Hi. Our Neo still hisses at us whenever we go to pick him up. He doesn't strike or bite, just hisses. He stops once we pick him up though. Just give yours a little time. The big babies LOL!

LOL for some REALLY strange reason, I went to reply to the post below yours about a baby BP striking, and it posted my reply to your post! HAHAHAHA sorry for any confusion!
