Hello all.I'm and starting to prep for getting a ball python.After reading a lot of care sheets I still have some questions that I couldn't really find real answers to.
-I know that you should feed BP the size of the largest part of it.But seeing how I don't have the snake yet and can not tell what would you suggest for a baby BP? pinkies?
-I know that you should not get too big of a tank for a ball python.But in all the care sheets I've read it seems that it is either a 10g or 20g long tank that I should use.I already have a 20g tank so if I give it enough hides would it still get stressed out?
-I live in the NE and our winters can be really cold.Besides a UTH what would you suggest to keep the ambient temp around 80? I've heard that a with a heat lamp it screws with humdity.Any counters to this?I've thought of using a humdifer on really low but I kinda doubt that would work. Links would be a great help to said counters or products.
-I know that when you feed a BP that you should not handle them for about 48hrs.The thing is I do not plan on feeding my Ball inside his/her tank.I have a storage bin I was going to use.But I certainly cannot leave my Ball in the bin,so would it be ok to handle it so I can put it back in the tank?
So yeah I am pretty sure that is about it.Thanks in advance for all advice given.
