    Re: 1st ball python, 1st time owner

    and congrats!

    A couple suggestions if I may

    I think I see tape in the back there, if it is tape, get it out. They will find a way to stick themselves to it and it is REALLY not fun to get them off :/
    Also, the probes should be right at ground level. If you are using a UTH the probe needs to be under the substrate right in the middle of the UTH. This is to make sure the temps don't get too high (over 95*) in there for your little guy.

    I know getting a new snake is very exciting and you will want to take him out and play with him, but do your best to resist for at least a week. Give him some time to move in and settle down. I am glad he ate for you though! I am not sure what that was that you were feeding him (rat pink?) but you could probably move up in size fairly soon.

    Good luck with your new one! They are really great animals and you have come to the right place!
