I got my first Ball, he normal but i love him sooo much, Wife has always been terrified of snakes, finally convinced her to let me get Diablo, he is a Normal and i love him soo much. I have been reading these forums for years just havnt had a reason to join, now i do and am soo happy, Gonna go tub route for tank(Dont really care for looks , ) I am just wondering about heat, is an UTH enough for basking spot, I could put mesh top but would rather use cover to lock.

Awesome videos, TY for the welcome

One other question , I just got him yesterday, should i wait to try and see if he feeds or try right away, I know they can be a little shocked when first moving to new home.

You should give him a week to settle in before you try to feed him.

Make sure that uth is plugged into a thermostat or lamp dimmer! I'm sure you've already got that covered but I make sure to mention to anyone new, it could easily melt the plastic of the tub if left unregulated.

Yep UTH attached to a dimmer switch or Thermostat is your best bet. Check the temperatures every couple hours for the first few days to make sure they are good and you will be fine!
