ok i got a baby normal ball python for starters beutiful color alot of alien heads on the skin. my set up is like this.

1. 20gal glass tank with mesh top

2. 10-20 gal size uth stuck to the side of the tank as i have it on the floor right now till i have more time to make a stand

3. fir chip subtrate from the snake kit

4. sizable water bowl i am using bottled water and conditioner
two hides on on each end

5. 60w uvb light in a clamp on holder at the opposite end of tank from the uth on 12hours off 12 hours

6. stick on thermoeter but plan to upgrade to a dual purpose digital therm/hydrometer in a week or so

my room stays pretty warm in southern california so i am not to worried about heat.

thats what i have now

i also plan on getting something for the little one to climb on. should i put this under the light

i am thinking of using ripped up newpaper as a sub after the fir is used up. what do you think of that?

the snake already ate a live small mouse that i gave it so its eating right off the bat.

any sugestions on what else i shuold do to keep it happy and active.
