I have been thinking for a while about getting a snake, well I have chosen the Ball Pythonere is the question. I have a old used 10 gallon tank that I was going to us for the Ball Python. Is that big enoguht for a baby. I have a cold house So I was going to move him/her in to the pantry (exter room) I can close off the AC vent to make it warmer. Or should I keep the BP in the family room (high tracfic)? I plain on getting the Heat mat and thermstate. Would getting a BP from a Reptile show be ok I have one coming to my town on the 11th.
