Or, as wild as gets behind a coke machine anyway

The company I work with was doing a termite job at a local dollar store chain, and we had to pull back the coke machine to drill behind it. Before we got the chance my technician warned me of the snake. He took a swipe at it to try and get it to go away but then it coiled up!! We knew it wasn't your average snake.... most of the wild ones around here are venemous... so we captured it and I now have it in a tank in my office (how convenient!).

I called the wildlife agency and sent them a picture. They told me it was a ball python, and not a protected species where I live (North Georgia). I want to keep it, at least until I can find a home for it, but am clueless when it comes to snakes!

Help?

I've included pictures of the tank I put it on, and I've gotten recommendations from the wildlife agency to purchase a heating rock, and to get some kind of bowl for it to drink water out of? Sorry for my ignorance, but I've never owned a snake before! Thanks for any help/advice you can give me!







By the way, I've already replaced the piece of cardboard with an old piece of termite damaged wood so it has something to kind of hide under.
