Hi my names Ashley I just my new beautiful ball python named royal. I've had for about 5 days now looking for any information that I should really need to know so I can make sure royal is taken care of. Please let me know if anyone has some good info for me thanks

Welcome to ssnakess! There are many ballpython keepers here that I'm sure will chime in on further details. But the most important thing is that you leave a new snake alone, especially ballpythons can get stressed very easily after a move.

Thanks I took her to the vet today and found out that she is a female witch made me super happy and they told me a little more about her she actually just ate a little ago n is still hungry I gave her 1 pinky mouse so should I try give her another or wait till she digest ?

How old/large is she? Pinky mice sound like a pretty small meal. Did it leave a noticable bulge?

Actually, the most important thing is asking information before you get the animal

So you'll be up and ready when you get it.

A little late when they already own the animal though, but yes that would definetly count as the number 1 thing before you get a snake

I'm glad someone else has said about not researching your snakes before buying them. I spent 5 months researching ball pythons so I knew what was needed and how to care for them, I mean you wouldn't buy a car and then ask "How do I drive it?", hence my signature.

Anyway, feed rat pups or weans. Whatever has it's eyes closed. Much better meal than a mouse pink.
