Soo OMG soo happy.

I got my first Ball, he normal but i love him sooo much, Wife has always been terrified of snakes, finally convinced her to let me get Diablo, he is a Normal and i love him soo much. I have been reading these forums for years just havnt had a reason to join, now i do and am soo happy, Gonna go tub route for tank(Dont really care for looks , ) I am just wondering about heat, is an UTH enough for basking spot, I could put mesh top but would rather use cover to lock.

ah UTH is fine i use one myself for both my snakes and it's been great! :D


Welcome to the site/the world of snakes!! yay! :fest::fest::fest::fest:

Awesome videos, TY for the welcome :)

One other question , I just got him yesterday, should i wait to try and see if he feeds or try right away, I know they can be a little shocked when first moving to new home.

You should give him a week to settle in before you try to feed him.

Make sure that uth is plugged into a thermostat or lamp dimmer! I'm sure you've already got that covered but I make sure to mention to anyone new, it could easily melt the plastic of the tub if left unregulated.
:welcome:

Yep UTH attached to a dimmer switch or Thermostat is your best bet. Check the temperatures every couple hours for the first few days to make sure they are good and you will be fine!

congrats !!!... this is a start for many ball pythons to come.. :)

Yes i did, thank you so much guys, yeah he soo awesome, will do anything to keep him happy.

Post pics to keep us happy!
