    Question new to ball pythons........

    Hello! I am new to this forum, and I will be getting a baby ball python this Christmas. I was wondering if someone here could answer these questions?
    1. what heating sources and temperatures will my python need?
    2. what substrate will he/she need?
    3. what size tank will it need?
    4. what kind of essentials will I need?
    If I have left anything out, please feel free to put it in. So, basically, just tell me everything I must know to keep a baby ball python happy!

    to the land of herps. And for looking into everything, as Dr. Del stated. The best way to have a happy healthy snake is to be in the know and have your setup ready before the snake comes home.
