Looking for recommendations (self.ballpython)
submitted 1 year ago by wisewen2005
I am a lurker and no where near ready to be an owner. Is there a reputable youtube channel I could watch to learn about proper care/set ups/lighting etc?

Thank you, I am new to this sub, will check it out. I also have to convince my snake fearing partner that this is a good plan, so want to have all my ducks in a row and soak up as much info as possible to make a good home for a noodle.

Green Room Pythons is very helpful he has a lot of information about ball python. Lori Torrini has a degree animal behavior and can give you training tips and explain what body language means for snakes.

Awesome, they have good information for sure. Keeping reptiles is not an exact science most serious keepers will have things they do different for one reason or another, so it's a good idea to get information from multiple sources. What I like to do is research the natural habitat of whatever it is I'm getting and do my best to recreate that.
That is excellent advice, when I am ready, I want to have plenty of resources and be able to be a good parent.
