We have it in a 20 gallon aquarium with one hide and a log to sort of act as a second hide.

Looks real nice! I'm sure she is happy. What are you using for heat?

You keeping her hidden until christmas? I got a new addition as well and keeping him on lock down in my room til christmas morning :)

Awesome! :gj:

Of all the sources out there, you went with Petsmart? :( Well, I'm sure your daughter will be thrilled no matter where her snake came from. :) I wish my parents had gotten me a pet when I asked for it. Now I have about 20 - making up for lost time. ;) My dad HATES it.

such a cutie!! awee!! what do you think your daughter will name it! =O

Awsome gift! I'm thinking about getting my son a BP for X-mas or his B-day! Just gotta do it while wife and kids are onf vacation to Mississippi for the holidays! LOL! I was going to get him a normal from Rockstar Reptile back when I got my two morphs! But, he was in a little trouble from acting out at school!

How i wish my dad would give me one this christmans! :) Im sure your daughter will love it!

To think when I was a kid, I only got a hamster for xmas one year, wish my parents would of been cool like you :D

Cute snake!

I'm sure she will be thrilled! :D

I wish you and your daughter great luck with her first BP!

Very nice Christmas present and welcome to BP.net :salute:

Thats a great present.

What a lucky girl; to get a beautiful christmas present and having such supportive parents! I had to wait until i had a place of my own to get anything that wasn't a dog or a fish. Now i've got 5 snakes and i'm still scared to tell the parents about the new 4.

I always wanted a snake as a child but all I ever got were hamsters and fish while my brother got a leopard gecko that I ended up caring for :/ your little girl is lucky indeed

Great Christmas present! All three of my kids have their own snakes now. Congrats and welcome!

I got my daughter a Ball Python for Christmas too. She is 9 and has wanted a snake for years. I got her a female pastel from The Snake Keeper. The snake just got here Tuesday. I just hope I can keep her hidden until Christmas morning. I can't wait to see my daughters reaction!


I hope she doesn't find this post!

Great xmas present! Welcome to the community! (You too Jennifer!)

I am using a UTH on the hot side and a heat lamp 40 watt night light style for the cold side. I have been having a little problem with humidity and ambinent temp. I have been reading on the forum and getting ideas. I am using a wet towel on top on the hot side and the humidity is now staying between 50 and 60 percent. I try to not use the heat lamp during the day but only the night to try to keep the humidity fairly stable and ambiment temp up. It is a constant battle but I think it is worth it.

I am sure she will love the little BP.
Can you tell me how much does a 6 month old BP weigh?
I recieved mine as a full grown adult, about 2,000 grams.
Now she weighs 2,600 grams.
I have been feeding every 18 days, she is still gaining weight.
I am going to a 21 day feeding now, I hope that stops the weight gain.....
