Hello everyone

I have never owned a snake before so this is all new to me. I'm looking to get a Kenyan sand boa. I have heard that they are a good beginner snake and now I'm trying to learn as much as I can about them before I get one. I know that I want to get one from a reptile show instead of having it mailed to me. Luckily there are two shows coming up. There's the National Breeders Expo next month and the month after is the F.I.R.Expo.

So far this is what I have planned to buy.

A tub to put it in. Still thinking about what size to buy. I'm thinking about getting a male and someone said that I would need a 15 gallon tub.

Shredded Aspen for the bedding.

An under tank heater. Trying to figure out the best one to get that is safe for plastic tubs. I heard Flukers was a good brand to get. What uth do you all use?

A small water dish.

That's what I have so far on my check list. Please reply if you have anything else. I know I'll have more questions, lol
