Son getting ball python. Cage setup help please

[BuckeyeBalls]

Sounds like a plan!

Don't be sorry, this is a forum for learning and you (and others) have done just that If you have any other questions, feel free to ask away. There is always someone here to answer your questions.

Believe me, most of us are just glad that you are sorting this out before you get the animal. Most people (including myself) get their first ball python as an impulse buy and end up getting a lot of useless equipment that they then need to replace. Doing the research before hand saves you time and money!

Everyone is happy! Hooray!

lol yea i want to buy a better UTH the one that on there now is very small.

I think its this one

http://www.petco.com/product/6353/Zo...k-Heaters.aspx

Small
For 10-20 gallon Terrariums
8 Watts

its on a 29 gallon tank

So i will pick on a better one

Medium
For 30-40 gallon Terrariums
16 Watts

Or maybe they will have one cheap at the show i could maybe get. A bigger one is better correct since the one is kinda small for the tank atm

Also any tips on buying the snake?

Like what to look for/ask?

There are a lot of breeders there to choose from so i have alot of options.
