new to forum and BP, have some questions

[pfeiffer]

Hi everyone, I just registered a few minutes ago so I am very new to this forum, and I finally picked out my 1st ball python. I am picking her up in a couple hours, I am not new to snakes but this is my 1st BP, she is still a baby.
Any advice? I use aspen with my corns, is that fine to use with a bp as well? I know about the water bowl needs to be big enough for her to submerge, she needs a hide, and heat.
I will list my reptiles that I currently have so maybe you can give me advice on what the biggest differences I should prepare for:
1.0 anery striped male corn
0.1 butter corn
2.1 normal corns
0.1 miami corn
??.?? Kenyan sand Boas
1.0 water dragon
1.0 bearded dragon
that is just the reptiles I don't think I need to list the furries for this purpose....lol

I already have the tank, UTH, hide, water bowl, and aspen if that is okay?
anything else I need to pick up before I pick her up?

Thanks, Tonya

everything seems about right here.
You should have 2 hides, so you might want to get another SIMILAR one.
Also a thermostat since UTHs can sometimes over and underheat.
And one more thing you should get are fake greenery so its more cluttered in there, and ball pythons like clutter.
