    saying hi from Illinois

    Hey everyone, just saying hi from chicagoland IL... I joined almost six months ago and have been reading for the past two or three months in preparation for getting my first ball python. This forum is great and I have learned a bunch already. I'm getting my tank set up right now and almost have everything I need. I'm using a 10 gal glass tank and will be getting a baby ball. I already have locking screen top I will be using foil partially on, aspen bedding, acu-rite weather station, a flukers 5.5 lamp with red heat bulb incase needed, and a zoo-med UTH that will be hooked to a Repti-Temp 500 thats on order. for hides i'm going to use the dollar store bowl idea... Just wanted to say thanks already, this is my first post and I already learned a ton! thanks everyone
