Hey everyone! I'm new to this forum and I don't currently have any ball pythons. Actually, it's probably going to be a while before I get one, but it can't hurt to research early . I have some experience with snakes, just not ball pythons.

I've been reading several ball python caresheets but I just want to get some experienced people's opinions. First of all, I'm leaning towards using a plastic tub for housing, rather than a glass tank. What size would I need for an adult? Also, what's the best way to secure it so they can't escape?

Also, I live in Colorado and it is very dry here. I know BP's need a moderately high humidity level. Does anybody have any tips for keeping humidity up in a dry climate?

Finally, are they really super picky eaters like a lot of people say? Or is this mostly a myth? Any tips for getting them to eat better?

Thanks so much!
