Re: friends new friend
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.

Re: friends new friend
The package is fine, but he will need a few other things.....

Re: friends new friend
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.

Re: friends new friend
If you're talking about the snake kit, I would say not to get it. I got one for my corn snake at Petco, and it was a waste of money. The stick on thermometers are junk (get a digital) and the log hide (you only get one) isn't a good hide for a BP plus, he'll need two identical hides. I would tell him to purchase everything seperately, it'll save him a few bucks. Maybe, have him check out the forum and some care sheets too.
