Hey guys, got a new Ball Python yesterday. I named him Duke and he is my first reptile. So far so good and he seems to really enjoy being handled.

Here are a couple of pictures. I'm waiting on a thermometer and hydrometer and I need to get a stick or vines for him to climb. The tank is a Exo-Terra 24x18x18 glass terrarium, I have plantation soil and some forest bark for the substrate (both from Exo-Terra). I have a large Exo-Terra water dish and hiding spot. The plants are positioned to create another good hiding spot on the cooler side of the tank. I also have a Exo-Terra under tank heater on the side with the cave hiding spot.

What do you think? Any suggestions.
