Hello

Iv still been researching on items as I'd like to learn as much as I can before even buying a cage,

What items for a ball python should I be looking to but, I know I need substrate, a water bowl, hiding places heating mat, thermometers and hydrometers but what other stuff should I be looking at I.e. specific lights or specific types of the equipment mentioned above?

This will be going in a 2ft cage ish for a baby to start with until it gets to adult size


Btw I thought I'd rather post it all in here rather than creating different threads

:welcome: to BP.net. :colbert2:

:) What substrate you looking at using? Don't, whatever you do, forget the thermostat to regulate the temperature of your heat mat :) Otherwise you get cooked snake!! Not good :no:

Some people use a red light for night time, you don't have to have it, just an option though :)

For the thermometer/hygrometer, use a digital one if you can not a dial one. They're rather inaccurate. :) What Ball you thinking of starting off with anyway? A good set of scales is always an idea as well :)

I dot know about substrate yet as I'm still looking into it all,

As for snake I would really like a blue eyed luci but a really clean one tho

Iv got a price from one place but they said I'd be looking at at least £600 plus and that's if they can get hold of one

They are really expensive. I have a friend who's been looking for one for a reeeally long time. I use Aspen substrate, had no problems with it so far though I think feeding on aspen can sometimes be a bit of a problem because of it getting stuck to the rat/mouse.

Good luck though!!!!
