I've read general information on choosing a healthy Ball, their housing needs and feeding, but any tips and/or tricks to taking care of this type of snake? For instance, the best type of heating pads/lights/etc., best type of food, a good feeding schedule to start off with; anything that will make my new Ball more comfortable and keep him/her happy and healthy. I'm going to be a first-time snake owner and I want to make sure I'm as prepared as possible before I bring him/her home!!

NOTE: It will be a juvenile BP, not an adult.
