Ball Python help?

So I was given a 6 month oldish ball python randomly because the original owner was going to kill it. Now, I already had a small (now I mean SMALL) tank, that's really just a container, that was used to feed another snake In a separate space. But that's about all I have for him until Wednesday. I have no bulbs, nothing for the bottom of the tank, no bigger tank, no humidity control but a flimsy tank called a "critter carrier" and 2 bowls of water (one deep, one shallow) for 2 days. His next feeding is on Thursday but I was wondering, will the snake be okay until Wednesday when I get the rest of the needed supplies?

I'm sure he'll be fine. You could pick up a rubbermaid/sterilite tub in the mean time. Should cost less than 10 bucks for one big enough. Do you have a heat source or is he in a room with a warmer ambient temp?

Also...got to ask...what's the deal with the original owner?

I think your snake should be fine. I'd try to get it to the warmest area of the home though. As for feeding, I'd pass on this week. If your snake is cold, it won't be able to digest the meal properly.

He's in a room that's relatively hot. I mean, I live in Texas. Ha. The original owner was going to cut off its head for not being playful enough. It was ridiculous and I HAD to give the poor cutie a new, good home. Unfortunately, I don't get paid until Wednesday. /:
