Hi guys! So I've never owned a snake before but I'm looking into purchasing a ball python at the expo in January. I keep other reptiles right now including crested/Leo/gargoyle geckos as well as a tegu. I currently have a 40 gallon tank. Would that work for a sub adult or should I keep it in something smaller until he grows a little? Is there anything I should know before purchasing?
So far my plan is to buy a sub adult male. Either a blue eyed Lucy or a bumble bee. Keep him in aspen bedding with an under tank heater. Not sure about heat lamps yet. With a big water bowl to soak in and a hide in each end. Anything missing?
