Welcome to the site. You'll find your the envy of quite a few of us, since you are local to NERD. They are the BEST. Truly wonderful people.

I'd just recommend you getting used to what you like best about bps... spots, reduced pattern, something funky. Just make sure to take some pictures before your week of no handling. ;)

Well I got my setup last night and will be setting it up 2night. I got a starter kit which came with just about everything except a Thermostat which I got seperately. I'm curious about a couple things though.....


1. They said just 1 heating pad is fine for now (10gal starter)
2. No need for a ceramic heat light
3. Only 1 hide
4. Thermometer with no leads (just ambiant temp). I did pick up a different model that does indoor/outdoor (use one side for hot and one for cool) and humidity.

Does that all sound ok for now? I will be going into a 20L or bigger if needed once the snake gets a little bigger.

I'll be taking plenty of pics once I pick her up!

Welcome to the site. Remember to post pics.:D

Your so lucky you live close to NERD!!!!1 :D

As long as the room isn't cool, the heating should be okay. I would go for two dark hides. (no half logs!) You may also want to consider covering up 3 sides of the tank as well to help the snake feel more secure.

They gave me 1 large hide, ill change it to 2 smaller ones and cover up the sides of the tank. Thanks for the help!
