To start off, let me say that I've read the Caresheet, done my own research, and done my best to educate myself. I currently have reptiles (lizards), but I need to know a few things as this will be my first snake, and I wish to give him as good a life as I can.
Should I get a hatchling, or a subadult? Which would be better to start out with?
Alright, hides. I have a pair of 6" wide, 2" tall wooden bowls that I'm going to bore entrance holes into. Will this be adequate for the snake, and up to approximately what size will he be able to fit into it?
Is live feeding or feeding prekill best for BPs? Why would you say so?
And, finally... what method is best for maintaining humidity in the tank? I have a 36x18x12 terrarium and a 15 gallon, which I need to take measurements on, but they're both glass on all sides..
I'm going to be using a UTH with a top which I've modified to only have a screen door - the rest is plastic. Would it be easiest to mist (if so, how and what should I mist in the tank?), or to heat his waterbowl?
Thank you to anyone and everyone who helps me. ^^
