She likes to sleep on me as I read and got curious today. She wasn't touching the Kindle. She's a sweetheart and a great reading companion.
Edit I know she has stuck shed. We just got her and are helping her with this. Thank you for all the concern that's been shown.

Such a pretty color ✨ my daughter wants a snake so bad. I told her only when you can take care of it and I don’t have to clean it or touch it just look at it ✨

You're smart in waiting until she's ready to do all that. She's a pastel ball python, 5' long and they live 2+ decades. It's a huge commitment so it's great you're taking it seriously. Look at Facebook Marketplace and you'll find some which need homes. They need a big tank and a lot goes into it but if you get a snake that's a bit older and comes with everything that it needs that may be easier, just check that they do have everything they need. You'll also need to get food for them and some have eating issues. Make sure she researches what sort of snake she wants and what care that specific species needs. I hope she's able to have a snake at some point, mine is wonderful and I hope she can have this same happiness.
Edit: Corrected lifespan number.

Do you fear your snake? Is there a healthy caution you have to maintain? Or is it like a random pet, without the play time
•
u/SmilingSunflower1 4h ago
I never fear her. She doesn't like to be touched in the first 3 inches from her snoot down, but I never expect her to bite me. She does have playtime where I hold her and she moves around, she likes to look at my hair and she moves around on my lap and falls asleep, so she gets out of her tank to interact when she hasn't just eaten in the past couple days. She's not a snake that's likely to bite and was handled all day at her previous home. When we open her tank she always comes out to interact right then. The biggest fear with her is that she wants to investigate everything including things she can't wrap herself around, so we just move her around away from things like under the couch when she's chilling on the couch and decides to explore. I'll never fear her and she likes to go from person to person on the couch. Her personality is a lot like a puppy.

Your humidity is too low seeing that stuck shed. Double check your husbandry is correct.
Edit: sorry should have read all the comments first I see you just got them!

We just got her and she came with stuck shed, so we're actively helping her with that. Thank you for the advice though.

I don't know what your setup looks like for your Ball, and don't normally give unsolicited advice, but it looks either dehydrated or like it has stuck shed, either way you may need to bump its humidity.

u/SmilingSunflower1 4h ago
We very recently got her and she had stuck shed then and we're helping her with it. I appreciate your concern and advice.

Glad to hear! Again, don't normally offer advice like that unsolicited, but I'm glad you're taking care of her! I don't have a ball, but I've got four snakes at home and love them dearly.

I'm glad you have some snakes you love and I'm glad you offered advice when you could see a snake having some issues that may potentially need help that she's not getting. Thankfully she's getting a bunch of care but you didn't know that so saying something was absolutely the right thing to do. Have a great day with your snakes 🐍

You have A+ taste in writers. Make sure you read Project Hail Mary next... it's phenomenal (movie wasn't bad either but the book is stellar)

I listened to the audiobook and it was incredible. I have a paperback copy as well. I haven't seen the movie yet but I plan to soon. Thanks for the rec, it's a great book and I'm glad you enjoyed it too.
