I got my spider ball python two days ago. It was sort of spur of the moment and I did not yet have the tank set up. As of now he's in a 20 gal with two hides, water in the middle, a little humidity hide with spagnum moss in it and a heat lamp with 60 watts on the warm side. I've ordered a UTH, thermostat and thermometer and they should arrive soon!!! I'm not sure if the temp now but I'm guessing only 75-85 in the hot side... I know this is not ideal. I also handled the poor guy the first two days because I was so excited before doing my research... now I'm going to leave him alone for a week; then try and feed him. (He did not appear shy or nervous when I was holding him; merely curious). I'm a little concerned at his weight, I bought him at a reliable local reptile store. He was the smallest of all the bp in the tank and the man guessed he was 4-5 months. I weighed him and he was only 69g! ( maybe the scale wasn't accurate??) I just really want to give him the best life I can and would love any advice or suggestions in doing so. Thanks!!
