Hello everyone, I'm new to this site and to snakes.
I just recently joined this site to learn more about my ball python.
Last week, my mom made a very serious impulse buy. She went to the pet store, saw the ball python, and immediately took it home. At first I put aspen bedding in the spare 10 gallon tank we had that already had a zilla heat mat under it, and had the tank at a steady 80 degrees. She had a half log hide and a ziploc container for a water bowl.
After being directed to this site, I've changed a lot of things. I changed the substrate to paper towels, added an infra red heat lamp on one side to raise the temperature of other side of the tank to 90-93 degrees and the cool side is still 80. I switched the half log to a plastic container and added another hide on the other side. Also since she has a bit of stuck shed on her, I raised the humidity to 70-80%.
Yesterday we fed her, and she took the f/t fuzzie with no problem and no constricting, so I guess she's used to eating f/t. I fed in a different container, and she didn't mind very much.

So far, is everything okay? I want to make sure I'm doing it all right!
