    Ball Python Newbie

    Hi everyone and nice to see so many enthusiasts at the same place.

    I will get my first ball python on sunday and I want to know if what I went shopping for is the right stuff to get me going. It is a 5 year old and I dont know the gender yet.

    Here is what I use:

    Terrarium:

    100x45x50 equals 225 Liters or 59,4 US gallons.

    I use a 28 Watts heatpad 28x42 cm

    I use a Thermostat that has two settings. One for daytime and one for night-time.

    I have a 40 Watts heating lightbulb. I will set the daytime to be 12 hours.

    I have a cage for it
    I have drinking bowl for it.

    I use cork bark.

    I have a branch in there.

    I have a thermometer/hydrometer installed on the hotspot.

    Am I good to go?

    Any other advice? It is going to be moved 1 hour by car. Is there anything I should know about a snake that has recently been moved from one owner to another?

    It is used to eating live mice. I want to train it to eat frozen. Live is such a hazle.

    Any advice on that subject?
