    Re: Pros and Cons??
    Thank you to all of you who have responded. I am pleased with all the great responses I've gotten and they were extremely helpful!

    As for the snake, I understand all the required needs for a ball, I am just worried that I may not be able to provide the humidity it needs. However, I am open to suggestions on HOW I would be able to control the humdity my BP would need. Would it be just as simple as spraying down the enclosure once or twice a day? I know I can provide the heat simply as the room I keep my snakes in now stays at a temp of mid 80s (mostly 84-86F) during the day and dips to mid 70s (74-77F) during the night.
    As for homing enclosure, I was not interested in displaying my BP. I intend on keeping my BP in a nice little plastic tub, along with everything it needs. I had also planned on purchasing my snake from either an upcoming show or if I am unable to attend a show, I will be purchasing one from my good friends at my local Reptile shop; I would never even think about purchasing any kind of reptile from a chain pet store.
    If I do make the plunge and go for a little baby ball, I think I will consider a normal (or a cheap morph, depending on money) male, because I'm not particulary looking for anything very large (due to feeding requirements).

    If I am missing anything, I welcome any tips and advice. I would just like to make sure I have/know all that I need in order to own a BP that will live a happy, healthy life.

    Thank you again to all of you who have replied, and I look forward to being a further member of this great forum! :)

    Keeping humidity up in tubs is easy. My humidity never drops below 50%. If you need to boost it, try a different substrate or use a bigger water bowl.

    Pros:
    Many variations
    Easy to maintain
    Quiet

    Cons:
    They love to escape
    When they get older they get lazier like cats

    P.S. Check out some Boas too, I think they are just as easy to keep BCA full grown are about the same as a full grown Ball.
