Jessica, I'm doing a show tank so I picked up another hide identical to the one that came with the kit my girlfriend bought me.
I also bought a red light, UTH, a wrap around for the tanks sides and back, an acurite thermometer everyone on the forum was suggesting as well as a thermostat by Hydrofarm which should be here Thursday. I plan on running everything until Saturday afternoon to make sure all is well then picking up the little guy.
Random questions for you all, all of which I either missed in the 20+pages I've gone through on here or they just aren't there:
Once I have my bundle of joy, how long should I wait to handle, if any wait at all?
How often/long do you handle your young, adolescent and adult snakes?
Do I need a water treatment for when I replace his water?
