Hi everyone!
I'm new here, I've been reading for a couple of days and learned a lot. I first started wanting a reptile at 14yrs old ,a chameleon, since I am more looking towards a reptile I can handle I knew it wasnt the right choice. My friend recently bought a Corn Snake, and my "fear" (more ignorance than anything else) dissapeared.
I recently went to the pet shop and saw a splendid and super friendly pastel ball. He's so nice! They also have a normal ball but he's really grumpy. The problem is that he's really pricey...350$CDN and the normal is 130$CDN. He's captive bred and a couple months old. The problem is that I am not really rich.
Is there a way to make my new purchase cheaper.
I already looked for the tank: Zilla critters 40gal 100$CDN
I need to know what I really need. Do I only need a heat lamp or do I need a day light too. Would an incandescent do?
also is it safe to use newspapers for substrate?
which temps and humidity should I keep (it gets pretty varied from site to site).
Sorry to ask so many questions it's just that I really want him to be comfy in his new home.
