HI! New snake owner/animal lover

[Kiljosh]

Hey everyone, my name is Brian. Twenty four years old and my girl just got me a Ball Python for my birthday. I have always wanted to own a reptile but never was able to find the spare change, one of the best gifts I have ever received.

I joined here to make sure I can care for him/her correctly, being its my first snake(not counting the garter snakes I'd play with as a kid). Anyway, I named it Stubbs, because I'm not sure of the sex yet and its a nice cross gender name. He/she has a stubby tail so it just clicked!

Ive already learned much from reading the faq and look forward to expanding my knowledge!

Ill make a post in the BP forums for anyone who wants to see pics of him, I'd be interested in knowing if hes a special mix or anything.
