Hey All:

First off, 1st time here....I gotta say this is a cool sight....

Anyways I just acquired 2 young ( 6-8 months) ball pythons, male and female. Both are healthy, male fully shed recently and just digestlng his mouse and the female has just finished shedding with a bit left on the head area and eyes and waiting to be fed.

They came with a 10-12 gal aquarium tank for them and they have a Aspen substrate of about 2.5 to 3.0 inches. I know that I should separate them but that will be a bit ( month or so....$$ ).

All I have is the tank, a UV light on the top ( does throw some heat) and the Aspen substrate ( they burrow it seems when cold or?). There is NO hiding place or what do I do for a water dish

They also have been fed live grown mice and seem ok with that.

The previous owner said everything has been great and the pythons do seem very healthy.

Any help would be greatly appreciated....thanks
