I'm aware, thank you! I /was/ at least smart enough to ask about a feeding schedule... They said this one has been fed/eaten every Tuesday.. So I'm gonna go back to the same shop and get a feeder mouse on Tuesday... Coiled around itself, the snake fits in the palm of my hand.. Very small still, should we be shooting for a "hopper" or a "pinky" or what, the first time around?

Thanks again, everyone, for all the advice! I'll try the foil on the cage for humidity.. I'm gonna make the side that has the hide on it now the hot side, she seems to enjoy it that way.. I'll look into getting her (Yeah, like I said.. Dono sex yet, but my gut says she's a she, so for all intents and purposes.. ) another one when I get her first meal.. As well as a UTH if I can't get the heat up there.

I read some posts saying not to handle her in the first day, but we played with her a bit while setting up her enclosure and she didn't seem to mind it. She only did that cute little "Ball" thing they do while actually IN the pet shop. And my family stopped in for the first time to see our apartment. They are all animal people as well, so most of them either held or touched her, and again.. She didn't seem to mind. She stayed loosely coiled in my hands, and even began to explore a bit while they were petting her.

So, to summarize... I need to: Cover one side of the lid, invest in a UTH+thermostat, invest in a better quality digital hygrometer/thermometer.. Anything else?

And once more.. thank you all so much, I didn't expect such kind replies since I'm attacking this as such a newbie!
