@ Ec: Thank you ^ ^
@ BCS:
Yes I know, but I need you all need to understand something that I forgot to mention. Roxy is a therapy animal. We purchased her because I have a love of snakes, and I have quite severe depression that I REALLY needed help with, we got roxy through and organization that helps financially challenged people get therapy animals. We don't have the money to support a more costly animal such as a dog, so we turned to the best thing we could think of, a snake. And I'm sorry if im somehow sounding mean but Please know that yes, i did my research, and i got roxy from a reputable store specializing in reptiles, ESPECIALLY ball pythons. The place is known as Twin Cities Reptiles if you'd like to know. The people there helped me a lot and they helped me pick out all the things that in their experience, worked the best. I apologize if I've done something wrong, but all the people there suggested heat bulbs and lamps, pointed out the right size tanks for a snake her size/age, gave ne their reccomended kind of mulch and other various things. I'm really trying my best, okay? Please understand that Im definitely NOT trying to hurt Roxy, im really, really trying my best here.
I'm going to TRY my darn hardest to get ahold of a heat pad and a dimmer, but i cant make gurantees. Im not sure we have enough tinfoil to cover the whole top of the tank (it's a forty gallon) i've been using a blanket as of late. I know I can probably afford the moss if I talk to the financial support people at my school. Im really trying hard guys, i want roxy to have the best home she can have.
