Meet Severus, Severus Snake!

Hi all,
My name is Jim and I'm a new member here on ball-pythons.net. I've been lurking the site for a few days in order to learn as much as I could about these beautiful and magnificent creatures, and finally tonight I managed to get my hands on one. I'm not incredibly familiar with the terminology describing these snakes, but I'm fairly sure my little guy would be classified as normal. Anyway, as follows are a few pics taken of Severus right after he was put into his new home.
Note: I apologize for the boring and mundane habitat, I have to head to the pet store tomorrow in order to acquire the appropriate decor for his tank.

Welcome to the site! Severus is an awesome name! I love it. He is a beauty.

I think the CoolWhip tub should be upside down with a notch cut in it...

But you couldn't have chosen a better community to join :welcome:

Like I said in the original post, I plan to pick up some nice decor and whatnot for the tank from my local pet store tomorrow. I picked this little guy up at 8:30 and all the stores closed at 9, only had time to get the essentials. On the list is a proper water bowel and two hide-outs, among other things. Right now he's really enjoying that tub of water, he's been hanging around on the edge of it and submerging himself every now and then. I put that rag in there as a temporarily little hiding spot. I was afraid to use any sort of makeshift hide-out out of a container because the entrance could have sharp or rigid edges which could harm him which we certainly don't want. I have his well-being in mind at all times.

This may be considered off-topic, but if you have a moment I'd appreciate it if you checked out the following thread of mine and left some feedback that could be beneficial to my situation. http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...-Heating-Issue

Update: Pics of Severus' new and improved habitat.

Good looking snake. I should've got my bp a rock-looking hide so she can bask on top of it.
