Initial setup questions...

I'm glad they believe you guys. XD

I've got things cleaned, and everything ready to go but a thermostat... I don't suppose Walmart or Meijer carries them? I'm insomniatic and impatient to test things out. :D

I was looking at the ZooMed ReptiTemp one on Petsmart, but it says online only. That makes me sad, I don't want to wait that long. :( Anywhere else carry them or better ones?

(God I am such a newb. I'm so sorry.)

find your local pet store they might have a thermostat, not too hard to find, once in a blue moon the big box stores have decent thermos gl :) also scout around to where your going to get feeders, it's good to know ahead of time, you don't want to get the snake and have nowhere within 50 miles to get food

The thermostats sold at the pet store get mixed reviews. I personally prefer a Ranco or Johnson's thermostat for just one ball python. You can order it at: http://www.reptilebasics.com and it should be to you before the week is out if you order it today.
