Thanks for the replies. I have been researching this for a few months so I can be prepared when I do decided to bring one home. I just trying to decide what set up to start off with a 10 gallon setup or just spend the money now and get a 40 gallon. Either way I will get it all set up before I even think of bring a snake home. Also I found a expo in Hamburg Pa early next month about a hour or so away so I might wait it out but I am not sure. they have a show every 2 months. The store I visit seems very clean, the snakes look healthy, they list the dates the snakes ate, and they other day I went in and they had a new hatchling they got that was not for sale yet because it had not eaten yet and it needed time to settle in. The one guy said he has a Ball and said if I had any question after I took one home to just ask him. The only thing that I question is the person working didn't know when the snake was born or the sex.
