Hello everyone, happy to be joining you all ♥
I have been lurking the forums for a long time now, im not new to herps but taking the leap but id like to aquire my first BP as soon as I get educated enough and have everything I need properly arranged and ready for him/her.

I've been getting a bit of conflicting info so I'm hoping that you may be able help me sort some of it out and figure out whats best for my situation. Although im sure many of you will have different views thats the beauty of these forums and I will listen and appreciate everyone's advice and opinions, thanks...

The equipment I currently have on hand which I plan on using is an exoterra 36x18x24, ive read how to set up a glass enclosure sticky so I will be following that as my guide. I have a heat dome I will be using with the red heat bulb to boost my cool side temps...I will be buying a large uth and themostat and waterbowl, blue shop papertowel as substrate and the tin foil tape, tin foil for the screen and the digital probe thermeter from walmart..im hoping they still sell thoses here in canada. I might stick a piece of java wood in there to aid shedding and for something in case he/she does in fact want to scale something, of course ill also buy most likely 2 small black hide boxes since it will be a hatchling/juvie.

The concern I have is the size of the enclosure... I had contacted the best place to get reptiles in my area and asked them about emclosure size because I was concerned that maybe it would be a bit too large since ive been reading a lot on the forums and watching vids a d more often then not ppl have smaller enclosures and bins than larger ones, stating that the snakes would rather be in smaller spaces than be in a larger enclosure. I asked the girl (its her and her boyfriend? Husband) hobbyists turned shop owners she told me,
Quote " a male would be ok with a 36 terrarium a female would eventually out grow it. we can talk in detail about how to set it up when you come in".

I also asked about morphs, im looking for the cheapest morphs to start out with since I still have to spend money on that other stuff... might get some of it for christmas from my hubby..lol... but still, not looking to breed just want a nice normal to start or a fair priced morph, but asked her pricing and they have a normal het ghost for 59.99 and a mojave for 149.99 they have a bunch of other morphs but I think they are way more than that so way out of my price range.

I did meet a girl on kijiji, which is camadian version of craigslist. She seems nice saw pics of her snakes she seems to have good husbandry, emailed back and forth and she gave me tons of info and she said that she thought the snake would be fine in that size terrarium as long as there were at least 2 or 3 hides so the snake felt secure. She was selling 2 cinnamon hatchlings left from a clutch that had 1 normal, 2 cinns 1 spider. Shes selling the cinns for 175 each which seems fair to me. I tried to attach a pic of her babies they look healthy but its saying I dont have permission to do that lol.. She says she will have another clutch hatching by next spring/summer if im not interested in her last ones this clutch. what do you guys think?
