Hello all new here

hello all.

Im ready to take the plunge into the world of ball pythons and would just like some advice on what to get for a setup. After reading lots of posts seems like a tub setup would be better so i would like to go with that. Will probably be getting a juvenile. Any help would be greatly appreciated and looking forward to getting my first ball python.

:welcome:

thanks. also if anyone has any good suggestion on where to get some of the supplies for setup that would be great. i live in rural western oklahoma so not much around here but a walmart and a small mom and pop pet shop.

Welcome to the fantastic world of Ball Pythons. I will say once you buy one you will be hooked and want more it is an addiction. You want to make sure you have an appropriate sized heating element controlled by thermostat. Depending on how much you want to spend you can get one off of amazon for about 30 that is on/off, or you can get a proportional type which will run you 115 or more. You want a cool side that stays between 78 and 82 degrees and a warm side that is 88-92 degrees. Should have a hide on both sides that is large enough for your snake to fit in but still touch all sides. A water dish that they can soak in most people use dog bowls. Hope this helps everyone on here is very helpful and nice.
