Hi all- I have been lurking for a while now. I am in the process of setting up a 20 gal. low tank for a much anticipated BP. This will be my first snake, and I think I have read everything on the internet I can find about BP's!
I am leaning towards getting a male, because I understand they will generally be smaller as adults than females. Are there any other differences? in temperment or otherwise?
I will post a pic of my setup once it is complete, but here's what I have so far:
20 gal reptile tank w/ sliding screen lid.
UTH
ceramic 60 watt heat lamp
Ranco termostat
digital temp/humidity sensor- will put on warm side
digital temp sensor for cool side (i figure humidity should be the same on both sides?)
I plan on using newspaper for floor, and the flower pot bases or a small clay pot for hides. I will probably also throw in a piece of driftwood or similar. still need to find some type of water dish- maybe a small ceramic dog dish.
anything I am missing?

Once that is all set up with correct temps and humidity I can finally start looking for my very own BP!!

Thanks for any advise!
