OMG! I got a BALL PYTHON!!!

Wicked Snake!!! Very cool stripiness!

Now I'll do the downer part..

...Do some research as to better his setup!

There is alot to learn here as far as 2 hides, UTHpads with 2 temps, different substrates(no cedar or pine)(I use newspaper) humidity maintenance(day to day or shed) etc...

I know you are a student and it isn't cheap to set snakes up...but ...do it a bit at a time...spend your money on good heating,heat regulation and monitoring equipment(thermometers/hygrometers) and less on furnishings(they,snakes, don't care if it is Dollar store, an old popcorn tub or a flowerpot for hides and dishes)

Stay away from heat lights as they will make it hard to keep humidity...IMO(came home once to a dehyrated looking snake during a shed once and it scared me into UTHs)

Just some things to ponder...Hope it helps you along and Good Luck!! ...Trav

congrats on your first! they are addicting though :)

Welcome to BP.net! :handshake

You caught yourself a gorgeous snake, there! I'd say that $50 was money well spent! :yes:

great looking first snake and I promise you it won't be your LAST.

I like the color and the reduced pattern toward the tail, You got you a nice one!:)

Awesome, Congrats!!!:gj: Very nice looking bp!

Good looking snake!

IMHO, the best thing about keeping snakes is how creative you can get with the setup. I *borrowed* three office-sized plastic trash cans from work, cut off the bottom 6" of two of them, cut a door hole, and turned them upside down for hides, and used the bottom 3 or 4" of the other for the water dish.

Have fun, ask some questions on here, and see what cool stuff you can come up with.
