Hello all new python owner.

[Morgan says]

So about three weeks ago I got a ball. I havent probed it yet so I am not sure if it is male or female but I named it Mooshi. Here are some pictures and also my enclosure, though I am using my cellphone so it is bad quality.
1. He compliments the Bonzi.
2. First shed with me just last night with no problems.
3. He/she, ate two small mice at first tomorrow I am going to get a small rat and see how that goes.
4. should I get a bigger water dish?
5. The enclosure, I have since taken the aspen out and also added some small shrubbery behind the hide and water dish. Nothing too crazy though. I am now using the....um....crap forgot the name but it looks like natural dirt.

Nice snakey - you may want another hide at the cool end so that he can choose where he hides away.

Here is another thing I was told, to make it seem more like outside they suggested that rotate the light every other day? That way it wasn't something constant.
Wrong again?

[Morgan says]

Also males and female balls with all have spurs correct?

Most all have visible ones, yes...

Watch out about leaving the tank in direct sunlight, they heat up QUICK. Ball pythons also like it darker.
Some fur trees have an oil in their sap that is harmful to reptiles.

Grats on the new snake!

[Morgan says]

Well the sun never shine into my bed room at all. So thats okay, as for the bonsai tree, I placed him there for the picture. It is by no means, something he interacts with on a daily basis. I also looked to see if it was harmful and it is not.

Maybe right around a year, maybe older.
At the pet shop I got him, her, at it was a traded snake so I really dont know the exact age. When I got get food tomorrow I'll ask.
