Hey, thanks for your replies and concern. I have a 35gal aquarium. Heating lamp, heating pad for under the tank, I plan on using news paper or paper towls because I hear its easier to clean. I can easily make a good hide also. And I have 2 books on taking care of ball pythons and like 5-6 ball pythons websites bookmarked Im serious about owning/taking care of one. I just want a good price on a baby.

You know, for about 10 years I've wanted to own a python. this lady that lived next door when I was younger owned probably 10 snakes, HUGE and small. I remember this one she had was probably 10 feet or better, AWESOME beautiful creatures they are.

Im stable and mature enough to raise and care for one just as if it were my child. Infact, I think even if its a boy I am going to name it "Fiona" because thats my favorite name in the world and me and my Fiance are naming our daughter that as well.

So dont worry about where my head is guys, I'll do just fine. Keep the comments and advice coming though, the more the better, thank you for having me here also.
