Congrats, you're already ahead of the game by doing your research before getting your animal.You'll be so glad you took time to educate yourself first... so will your snake.

Keep in mind that ball pythons are typically shy snakes so if you decide to use a glass tank, it's a good idea to provide hides and cover/block out several glass tank sides to provide more security. Secure snakes eat more consistently = fewer headaches for you.
Best of luck, and enjoy reading the forums for tips and solutions!
