Hello all, I have been lurking for some time now trying to all the knowledge I can to ensure that our new addition would be well taken care of.

Little history, my 7 year old goes to after school care with a ball python breeder/hobbyist who on occasion brings them up to the school. So of course he wanted one. After about 6 months of him asking for it we decided that this was not just a fleeting thought that he really did won’t one. We made him read 2 separate books on BP's and tell us everything that they would need. I also made him watch videos of snakes eating to show him just what feeding them involved.

Well her name is Chrissy she is a female pastel and she has the sweetest temperament. She lives in a 20L with several hides (mostly to use up the space and make her feel more at home) I have used several suggestion that I found on this website on how to keep up the temp and humidity in her enclosure.(thank you all that have posted about glass tanks).

I will post pictures of her and her setup as soon as I get to work tomorrow (this computer is so slow with upload).

Again, thank all of you who have tried something found it to work and then told the rest of us.

I do have one question that I have not been able to find an answer for.

? Do you put the water bowl on the hot or cold side? and if it is on the cold side how do you keep the water warm?

Thank you
Amanda
