Absolutely new to all this!

Hey everyone! I'm Liz, and I just got my first ball, Maggie, last Friday. I've been wanting a snake since gods know when, and finally sprang on what I thought was a deal on Craigslist: $120 for the snake, tank with substrate, hide, water dish, climbing branch, and heat lamp. Since I got her I've changed her substrate, put a proper heat bulb in the lamp (his burned out the day I got her, that's why her light is white in the first pic), made a second hide from an old plastic tub, decorated her tank, fed her, and am now trying to convince my mother that an UTH is a good idea while waiting for my Herpstat to come in the mail. Despite not really interacting with her much, she's been nothing but sweet to me and seems curious about her surroundings when I inevitably go into her tank and change something. I'll probably be posting a thread later asking about my setup, but for now I say hello, and leave you with a few pics of Mags:
