so im really considering getting a ball python. I know I need:
Thermostat
Heat pad/tape
Hide
Sterelite bin
Bedding
Mice
Temp gun/thermometer/humidity gauge

What else do I need? What are the specifics on what I already lited above that you would recommend(Bedding type, mice, the ones with "/") ?

Also are you against getting them from petstores, I know they cost more? How long can a mouse stay frozen with out going bad? Im trying to convince my dad and he says he doent want to go to the pestore every week, it'd be to expensive and stuff. My birthday is in late September, so I have time to research and then give him a very accurate and informed report on why they are good, easy to keep pets. It may be a little hard, but im Daddy'' little girl, get straight As, and am already being recuited for schools, so its not a responsiblity thing.

Thanks in advance,
A.D.

ps. Im new here
