Hi guys just recently bought my new baby female ball python but have a few questions.

1. Just got her yesterday and let her sit for about a day and half do you think it is a good time to start holding her or should i still get acclimated before holding her.

2. Right now i have her on aspen bedding no ceder or pine of course but is there a better substrate besides repti carpet i cant stand cleaning it.??

3. She is in a 10 gallon tank and has a heating pad underneath will this be efficient enough heat. and do i need to mist. My boa i do so i want to make sure.

3. I think that all so thank and help out please.....
