Tank Accumulation Time

[wolfeman]

New to the Ball Python world.... well this is my first reptile.... I have tried the search option and came up blank.

How long should my tank be up and running before I introduce my ball into it?

I understand the temp/humidity etc. Believe me I have done a lot of reading....

Should everything be perfect or near perfect before I put him in?

Thanks...

If you put him in before everything is stable make sure you are watching your temps bc you don't want to leave and come back and its way to hot which would cause burns or even death. Just keep an eye and everything should be ok. Do you already have the snake in a box or something and waiting for everything to stabilize or do you have to go get him? If you already have him I would put him in if its warmer in the tank then where he's at.

I do not have him yet.... reptile store will keep him until i have everything at home set up... just didn't know if i should wait for a day or two after everything is set up and running...

Have it run for a day make sure all the kinks are out .. can't hurt .. less to worry about once you get your snakey home..
