Does this sound good?

Alright, I'm going to go through on about Ball Pythons and I wan't every one to judge me on it to see if I know enough or need to know more.

Temps need to be 90-92 on the hot spot and the cool side needs to be about 80. They need 2 hide spots heat pad is recommended a light is not required. Humidity needs to be 50-60% and when shedding it needs to be 70-80% they also eat every 7-10 days. If they refuse there food try and feed them the next feeding on the schedule. Don't handle them 24-48 hours after they have been fed. The size there food should be should be the girth of the snakes widest part (there hips).

EDIT: Water dish needs to be big enough for them to fit in. =)

Thats all I remember right now but if I did forget something I will remember it later on.

Getting my Snake Wednesday so siked. :snake:

Yup, everything sounds perfect. I'm sure you'll be a great herper :-)

Sounds about right. You will also need a way to control the Under Tank Heater, and a way to monitor temps and humidity. The water bowl does not need to be huge. Some BP's will occasionally soak themselves but usually it is a sign of other problems such as mites, low humidity, or security issues with their hides...

Yea, I got that stuff down on my list when I go shopping just thought I would post a short little thing about it to make sure I have everything down. =)

And I don't plan on getting a giant water bowl just a medium sized one cause I'm getting a baby. =)

when you say a baby, how old?
baby royals normally eat every 5-7 days rather than 7-10.
and as it gets bigger you can change over to 7-10.

He is about 1 Month old. I would generally feed every 7 days I just said 7-10.
