    Is a Ball Python a Good Snake For a Beginner?

    So I absolutely love snakes, but other than myself, my mom is the only one who likes them. The rest of my family really doesn't care, or does NOT want one in the house. I decided that maybe I would have a greater chance of getting one if I payed for it all, and tried to name some positives...
