Bowie the Ball Python

[KaydeeKrunk]

So my precious scale child came earlier today and I am already irrevocably in love with him. The stupid FedEx people left him on the porch and didn't even knock though so thankfully I head the truck. He was super cold in his sack(and thus not moving) so I was nearly having a heart attack trying to get him out but as soon as I opened it I saw his little tongue flicking away.

I pulled him out and he sniffed me nervously still coiled up, my bf even gave him a little pet and he just sat there, he was really cold so I wanted to get him into his enclosure as fast as possible to warm up, and when I plopped him down it startled him so he struck at me but missed, I know he was just scared so I forgive him.

Spoiler: Giant picture?

After we closed him in his tub he snooted around for a good hour or so sniffing and booping everything in his new home then finally curled up in his warm hide.
It is going to be insanely hard to not touch him or bother him for a WHOLE WEEK! I am already dying and it's only been like 12 hours... But I am so happy that I will still be off in a week to start loving him and get him acclimated to his new home and new snarents.(Snake parents.)
His name is Bowie and he is a blue-eyed leucistic ball python.

If anybody else has cuddly scaley friends and want to talk about being snarents feel free! I'd love to have more people who love repts and herps as friends!

Their genitals are tucked inside of them but professions can "pop" them to see the gender the breeder told me it was a male and I trust her but when I take him to the snake doctors when he's older or if I ever have any problems I'll get them to do a pop/probe to check his gender for sure. =]

Lol if it were another dog my mom would kill me even more, but yeah she's gunna be pissed off as hell. But I can butter her up with the fact that he's totally adorable and the fact her boyfriend will like him right off the bat. The funny thing is she was the same way as me when she was younger constantly bringing home animals but it was OK because my grandpa was the head of Fish and Game so he was always doing the same thing. XD hopefully she'll get mad for a minute then get over it like she usually does because that's how it usually goes. A couple years ago I brought home rats on mother's day without telling her beforehand and she got pissed, got over, and only ever got made later on when they started smelling. So this time she won't have any smell or noise to complain about.

Snakes are honestly the best animals, they're so adorable and they're not really noisy, and they're just so cute (ye I know I said that already)

Good luck breaking the news to your mom too!
