How's it going ever one my names allan. I've been in the shadows checking out the site and reading up on the care, live and what comes with the ownership of a ball python. But let me give a little back ground on me and how I've come to want a ball python. When I was younger (iam 25 now ) I wanted a snake thought they where awesome amd my uncle had a python that he pulled out of a engine bay at he work but would let me go near it. Time went on and my mother married and we moved in to a house in the water well little did I know about snakes and why they act in ways they do there where cotton mouths there and we would fish while fishing we would be see them swimming and trying to bite us and black racers thay would chase after me but now I know it was self defense, but at that moment I was terrified of the animals now fast forward to 2016 and I started to get over my fears going to reptile stores holding them and now I am ready to make the jump hopefuly this Saturday or Sunday at a repticon here but first let me give you a list of what I have set up to make sure it's ok from the info I got on the site.
My set up is going to be a tub for now I have a 6 and 16 quart tub, depending on the size I get, heat tape, a thermostat, Pam to coat the inside before the snake goes in, paper for the substright, a hide and a temp gun also a water dish.
As for feeding iam hoping for a Snake that feeds f/t and I found a feeling chart on here that I saved
Sorry if words are jumbled or the post is ranting on just want to give a back story and info on what I have for a set up and if there's anything iam missing or you would like to ask please do i am open to others opinions and will listen to what people.
Also thank you for having such a awesome site to get info off of it truly helps and I appreciate it and iam sure alot of other people that read in the shadows do to.
