The site suggested that I introduce myself here, so here I am. My name is Travis, I'm from Michigan, and about a week ago I bought a CB ball python Petco. The employee there told me that it was CB, so I am hoping that she was honest with me. My python is about 20" long, and is named Slyder. I know thats probably not the most original name, but I like it.

Well I think thats pretty much it. I have some questions/concerns that I would like to address, but I will do that in the appropriate threads. See ya around.

Welcome to Herp Center Travis. glad to have you join us. I have no doubt that it's captive bred. It is a very widely bred species.

Welcome to the HCN!

hey thanks for the warm welcome.. the care sheet pretty much told me everything that I have already read. before purchasing slyder I did an ample amount of research and also purchased a pretty good book (which I read cover to cover in a day!). i think that most of my questions/concerns are too specific for most of the articles i've read, so I joined this forum in hopes of using the knowledge of experienced snake owners. so, no pressure, but you better not let me down

p.s.

pics should be up in the next few days

Well what questions did you specifically have in mind? Feel free to ask em and we will pass our knowledge onto you. I guarantee we will not letcha down In addition to being the friendliest forum on the web we just happen to be the most brilliant
