Thoughts on proposed cage set up
So my son is getting his first ball when he turns six in march. I would like to have a cage set up 2 weeks prior to make sure our temps are appropriate.
here is my shopping list, please add or change on your experience. This is my first reptile so I need all the help I can get.
-animal plastics t8 with sliding glass doors
-sliding door lock
-11" flex watt belly heat
-hydrofarm thermostat
-accrulite probe thermometer
-2 identical hides
-zoo med dimable clamp lamp (for ambient temps)
-infrared heat gun to double check temps
-substrate starting with paper moving to a natural looking product safe for a snake
thoughts?

If youre going to be using a lamp, don't forget to get the cut outs on the t8.

I'm feeling overwhelmed right now. I just want to make a happy home for my sons ball. I wish someone created a intro to ball python thread where they spelled out everything you need with names and links. Tere seems to be too many options for a first timer it's hard to tell what you really need.
thanks for the replies

I know what u r feeling I am bringing home my first bp on Sunday reason there isn't an exact how to so to speak is due to the fact that everyone's set up needs to be a little diff based on where u live and such. House temps humidity and all that..

How does anyone afford all those things at once? A T8 cage alone costs 3 arms and 5 legs.
