New Ball Python

because i found a really good deal so im only getting one snake and setting him up in the cage he comes with.

Covering most of the screen is the way to go to keep the humidity. Im guessing you are getting a glass cage, therefore you might have problems keeping the ideal ambient temp. Ceramic heat lamp is probably way to go, but i would first try out with the uth and then check the temp.

20 gallon isnt that big and you just might able to pull it off. Also there is a DYI humidifyer in the article section, you might wanna check it out. If i were you tho, id just tell the guy to leave out the cage and get only the snake. Its cheaper and replacing bulbs gets really expensive, you better off with rubber maid with uth.

well my ball python is very healthy. he ate a f/t mouse fuzzie.( he will eat rat fuzzies when my rats start to reproduce but my moms friend will give me fuzzy rats in the mean time.) he is very nice and i also got the ball python manual. my ball pythons name is aminata wich means good in ghana

well i just got him probed and it turns out to be a male well i think its a female cuz i think i see the mark where it stopped at and it is definetly not 8-10 scales. how do you pop a snake?

I'm confused .... Who probed it for you? .... They told you it was a male and you think that they don't know what they are talking about?
