ya it was. Im not so much worried about it as my girlfriend is. I really would never live it down though if it did end up eating our ferret. i was a little concerned about the ferret killing the snake as well. they are kin to mongoose.

I dont have many options for cages. I have a 20 or 30 gal tall tank that i think would be good for him. I am going to lay it down on it side and make a secure door for it. I just dont know how im going to heat it. i worry that if i put a heat lamp on top of the glass that it will crack, and that it i put it on its side facing the door that it will not heat enough. I have a uth just dont have enough money for a thermostat. do calli kings/ball pythons really require a uth, or would a heat lamp be enough?

thanks for the info guys and gals.
