Hello!
So yesterday I was kickin it around my house and my friend calls me and says their sister has a ball python in her hand and it needs a home that minute. So I start setting up a tank (you know you love reptiles when you have an empty ready to go tank at like any minute haha) and she comes by and drops off this little guy!
She gives me no info and then leaves. I wasn't planning on getting a ball python until my move next week and I've still been doing research (I like to be overly prepared for my babies). What size foods should it get? Should I give it some time to adjust before I feed it? It was dropped off like seriously just in this woman's hand and she didn't say anything but thanks. Can anyone give me some good beginner snake advice? My dad kept snakes when I was younger, like 10 years ago. This little guy (or girl) is just so cute and sweet. I want to make sure I take care of it proper.
It's tank has coco fiber bedding (it's all I had on hand). The hot side is about 89-90 and cool is about 77-80. Humidity is around 65-70 but it's dropped from 80 yesterday. That coco fiber holds humidity so well! It's in a 10 gallon (it's a really small snake and fully stretched out she doesn't touch end to end) is that okay at the moment? I read that little ones like smaller spaces. I put some paper up on the sides of the tank to make it feel more comfortable. Please let me know if I'm doing something wrong! Thank you all so much!
It's just so cute
Best wishes!
