First thing is first. I like to compare BP's to a much more dangerous animal. What you really need to be afraid of is kittens. Now if you can handle playing with kittens without being to scared you should have no problem with Kismet. Your new BP doesn't have retractable mini daggers on each foot and its teeth are nothing compared with the maw of 3 month old kitten. I mean Ball Pythons are to Cats what Cats are to tigers.

Ok so now that we have that in perspective, reach in to the tank and pick up kismet by the thickest part of her body and put her in a small box while you get rid of that sand. If you want cheap, easy and good go for newspaper, if you want something that looks more natural, you could get some http://www.petsmart.com/product/inde...3&lmdn=Reptile its great for keeping your humidity up and might be a good option till you figure that part out. But really newspaper is great.

For a tank setup you have to worry about the 3 H's. Heat, Hides, and Humidity. Most people are pretty good about knowing their animal needs food and water. Water is easy, and food is easier if you have the 3 H's down. But lets hear your plans, before we bombard you with specifics.
well unfortunately my wife is not keen on having a snake in the house, and I can't keep him/her in my office for long. Luckily I have already found a home for him, at least temporarily! A member here has offered to take him off my hands!

It's really odd, because I've always been afraid of snakes, but for some reason I am getting attached to this one! Too bad the wife is nearly phobic
