ok...i currently have my ball in a little tank, bout 15 gallons, just till thursday...

when i get my 40 gallon tank, do you think that it would be ok if i just had one basking lamp (bulb and hat) on one side of the tank? or do i need to get a long light the same size as my tank so it heats the whole tank? and do any of you use a black light on your ball pythons?? a reptile specialist told me he recomends it, it helps the snake get its vitamin D. and it helps the structure of the snake.


and if anyone can tell me the best way to set up a perfect tank and how like what lights to use and everything. that would be great..

haha im sorry im bran new to having a snake. i just want the best for zigzag(my snake)

thanks guys
