So, this monday I decided I wanted to buy a ball python because they seem like awesome animals. It seems like there's conflicting information everywhere I look on them, though, and I'm kind of concerned.

I did a lot of research on them and most sources I looked at said it's okay to keep them in a glass aquarium so that's what I bought. However I've been reading through a lot of posts here and a lot of people seem to think that it's not a good idea to keep them in aquariums and that they're better off in plastic containers. Is keeping my snake is a 20 gallon aquarium bad for him?

Also I'm planning on feeding my snake for the first time tomorrow. When I was at Petco (I'm sure there's plenty of you out there that are already put off just by the fact that I got it from petco), there was a lady working there that seemed extremely knowledgeable about Ball Pythons (she said she owned and bred them) and she told me that it would eat F/T fuzzies just fine. Again, reading through some of the treads on here, it seems like a lot of people have trouble getting their BP to eat F/T and the general consensus seems to be that ball pythons are extremely picky eaters.

If a baby ball wont eat a F/T fuzzie, what should I do? Try live, or should I just try to feed him again later?

I'm kind of disappointed how much false information are in the youtube videos I've watched. They pretty much all said throw them in a 20 gallon aquarium with Cyprus mulch and heating pad with a couple of hides and they are super easy to take care of. This doesn't seem to be the case as the more I read the more it seems that BPs need very specific humidity/cage size, etc.

Sorry if these are common questions that have been answered already, but I just want to make sure I'm not harming my snake in any way.
