Closing

There is more than one right way to keep a ball python.

We started with that line, and we are ending with it.

Use this guide as a foundation. Update what you do as you learn. Disagree with us when you have reason to — respectfully — and bring the disagreement to the Circle so the rest of us can learn from it. The hobby gets better when keepers talk to each other instead of past each other, and when the people who have been doing this for thirty years and the people who are doing it for the first time can be in the same room without one trying to humiliate the other.
