Hey im new to this forum and to snakes. I have had many other reptiles in the past, like anoles, bearded dragons, and varying species of gecko, but i have finally decided to venture into the world of snakes and purchase a ball python... i havent got it yet and i am first making sure that i have everything set up right... so here i go...

20 gallon long(i have many other tanks that i can use if he outgrows this one[fish], i have a spare 29gallon, 30gallon, and 60gallon)

for substrate i am going to use firbark...

i have 2 really cool logs that i am going to put in there, along with a kinda half-log thing for a hiding place and i have a lot of fake plants to put in there.

i have a spray bottle that i am going to spray in the tank 3 times a day and i have a pretty big water dish so he can cool off and this will aslo add to the humidity...

im gonna get a couple more thermometers and a hygrometer.

im gonna keep the basking area at around 90'f and the rest of the tank between 85-75'f also i have a couple reflector domes to use for the lights along with the florescent that runs the length of the tank. is it ok to use them for the heat, or should i use something else.

tell me if i missed anything...
