Most big box pet store workers are not well educated (there are some that are, but they are the needle in the haystack).

I suggest you take a look at our care sheet, http://ball-pythons.net/modules/Sect...warticle&id=59 if you haven't yet and then judge how your set up is accordingly. The big box pet stores will try to sell you a lot of things you don't need, and NOT sell you a lot of the things you do. (like a thermostat).

You'll also want to give him 7 full days of no handling to settle into his new home.
