Re: Well... Here's Rocky (my first BP; a normal)
Alright I think this works, there are 5 pics. The first is of my 10 gallon tank which is a little different now. I've added a 2nd hide next to the water bowl. There is one in the pic on the far side of the dish, but it was too cheap looking. I also have an additional thermometer/humidity guage. It very crammed due to the big hides and water dish so I plan on upgrading sonner than latter. Anyway there he is (I really don't know if he's a guy or girl).

Re: Well... Here's Rocky (my first BP; a normal)
Very nice BP however you might want to make some little changes in his enclosure.
1# Provide Belly heat (I see the UTH is behind the tank)
2# Provide 2 tight (all side touching your BP's body) identical (so your BP does not chose security over thermo-regulation) hides
Your hides are different and way too big for your BP (also log hides make poor hides).
Make sure you provide gradient temps 80-84 on the cool side and 90-94 on the warm side (making your measurements at the bottom of the enclosure)
Making those little changes might help prevent running into problems later on.

I forgot to mention the UTH was only on the behind for about 10 minutes, then I put it under (I'm very indecisive).
Yeah, the guy that sold me this stuff was trying to prevent me from having to buy more stuff when I buy a bigger tank and he grows. Unfortuanetly, the stuff I have barely fits in the tank. The new hide I bought is actually a bowl made from bamboo that I bought for 4 or 5$. I might as well just go grab another from Marshalls.
I know my warm side gets to 90-92 during the day, According to my new Thermometer the cool side is about 80, with the humidity between 60-70.

Re: Well... Here's Rocky (my first BP; a normal)
GA_Ball_Pythons,
Thanks for the advice anyway. I've only had him a little over a week so I'm still learning.
2 out of 4 times that I've picked him up he has hissed at me. I picked him up anyway, b/c didn't sound very threatening (it was actually kind of cute). Almost like he was whining. Today he was fine though.
