    So im new here and am getting a BP

    Ive done a ton of research and my friend is a snake keeper as well, which has led me to wanting a good hobby- snakes. I have selected a ball for a starter snake because I haven't owned one before. He is helping me alot with everything. Any tips or tricks I should know? Thanks.

    I'm going to be the pain in the group.

    1. Do you have your setup already prepped?

    2. Do you know what temps you need?

    3. Humidity?

    4. Glass or plastic tub?

    5. Live or frozen/thawed?

    Read read read! also, get your cage and set it up first so the temps and humidity will be perfect BEFORE you bring your new BP home. It will create much less stress for your new BP in the long run
