Re: hello, I'm new! What do you think of ball pythons?
Welcome.
I wouldn't ever recommend a king snake or a hognose for a beginner.

Any particular reason why? The hognose I can understand, but my Cali King is very easy to care for, tolerates being handled, and eats his f/t feeders like clockwork.

Mostly because kings can be so food aggressive. If your first experience is with a food crazy king you may just be turned off.

Thank you  I got to feed her for the first time today. It was fascinating. I assume she is doing okay if I was able to get her to eat with no problem.

Re: hello, I'm new! What do you think of ball pythons?
I agree with everyone else... it's a preference thing. I love some of the BP morphs for their beauty but won't likely own more than the one I have. There are so many interesting species out there... I'd rather use my time, energy, and monetary resources having a more varied collection. Just my opinion.

Ah, that would be my MBK. Fortunately she's small enough that when she does end up biting it's merely annoying.

that is why I use a tong, because most of my snakes are very good at hitting my hand, for no reason, lol not scared, but rather be, without a fun bite
