friends new friend

hey yall my friends getting a new snake and needs everything including a cage and all that and hes gettign everything form petco (i know its not the best btu ya....) so i want to know if he should get the package that comes with everything or should he just pick his own stuff ? :carrot: :carrot: :carrot: :carrot: :carrot: :carrot:

Don't buy from pet-co. I've heard a few stories from here and personal friends of my own who bought snakes with mites. He's better buying from a reputable reptile dealer. Also, make sure they read up to give proper care for whatever pet they decide to get.

The package is fine, but he will need a few other things.....

Your friend should get all of the same stuff that your other friend with the albino ball python has. ;)

Just as long as the basic needs are met:

Hot side of 92-94 and cool side of 82-84 (measured by digital thermometer)
Humidity of 50-60%
Two identical, tight fitting hides (such as these)
Water bowl (duh :P)

Anything else I forgot?

You can get everything at PETCO, except maybe a thermostat and a tub (depending on if your friend wants to work extra to keep up the heat/humidity in the glass tank), although it would be cheaper to get it on the internet from somewhere like reptilesupply.com.

The all-in-one package really doesn't have everything you need to keep a ball python healthy.
