Hello

[Cragterharris]

Iv still been researching on items as I'd like to learn as much as I can before even buying a cage,

What items for a ball python should I be looking to but, I know I need substrate, a water bowl, hiding places heating mat, thermometers and hydrometers but what other stuff should I be looking at I.e. specific lights or specific types of the equipment mentioned above?

This will be going in a 2ft cage ish for a baby to start with until it gets to adult size


Btw I thought I'd rather post it all in here rather than creating different threads

What substrate you looking at using? Don't, whatever you do, forget the thermostat to regulate the temperature of your heat mat Otherwise you get cooked snake!! Not good

Some people use a red light for night time, you don't have to have it, just an option though

For the thermometer/hygrometer, use a digital one if you can not a dial one. They're rather inaccurate. What Ball you thinking of starting off with anyway? A good set of scales is always an idea as well

I dot know about substrate yet as I'm still looking into it all,

As for snake I would really like a blue eyed luci but a really clean one tho

Iv got a price from one place but they said I'd be looking at at least £600 plus and that's if they can get hold of one

They are really expensive. I have a friend who's been looking for one for a reeeally long time. I use Aspen substrate, had no problems with it so far though I think feeding on aspen can sometimes be a bit of a problem because of it getting stuck to the rat/mouse.

Good luck though!!!!
