Check your local Craiglist, at least my area has a ton of cheap vivs and many young BPs available.

For a first snake I would avoid a hatchling/baby & get something just a little older (~6-months) with routine handling & several meals taken - your call though...

Make a checklist: viv, UTH, other heat source, acurite thermometers, temperature gun, etc. Most of that stuff is inexpensive, I would plan to spend the most on a decent thermostat like a Herpstat

I will probably useing a tub at first anyways so I don't know why I asked. lol

Okay, understood.

Depends, sorry.

And will do.

Thank you for the advice and replying. :D

Jacksonville Florida? If so there is a really good one here called Extreme Exotics, I am a frequent customer there and its where I got my boy from. They have some really cool snakes available, there is also one called House of Reptiles but I wouldn't recommend that one, the store itself isn't super nice and anyways they don't sell very many ball pythons, the other one is just a much nicer place

Update:
Just kidding, I just looked at your location [emoji28]

UPDATE 2:
Just thought about it and its not actually that far away when I look it up XD Im an air head! My advice still stands!

If I were you, I would just house the BP in a tub for most of its life until you have the money to buy a PVC cage. Way better than a tank.

So exciting! Do you know what patterns you're interested in?
