Re: Have a ruined my snake!?
Snakes aren't emotional beings like us. He'll recover :) In the mean time, please read this thread, and welcome to the wonderful world of snakes!: How to Setup a Glass Tank (20 long) With Pictures!

The thermostat mentioned in that thread is pretty critical. Ball pythons aren't climbers per se, so vertical isn't appropriate. You can put tinfoil on the mesh top to retain more humidity. What size is he? That would help determine correct prey size. You'd be surprised what they can swallow! Rule of thumb is to feed the same size prey as the widest part of your snake. Yes, it will likely be bigger than his head, but he can stretch it like crazy. I agree with what others said about letting him be for a week or so once you get a final setup. They can go a very long time without eating.
