YouTube is not the place where I would start my research when it comes to setting up proper environment for your snake, the highlighted part above just proves it.

You are getting a snake a BP in particular bare that in mind they are not social they tolerate being handled, handling is for your enjoyment not theirs, they need to be provided with security even if a cage is what you are set on remember that the enclosure needs to grow with your snake if you get a large enclosure and an hatching you will be doomed to have issues.

Again key word is RESEARCH and there are plenty of great stickies on this forum that will help you provide your animal optimum husbandry which will lead to a successful first time owner experience.
How negative and arrogant. Most of the people here have given me useful and constructive suggestions. This one is just rude and insulting, not to mention presumptuous. Way to make someone feel welcome! And you sure don't give your snakes much credit either.

First, you're way out of line suggesting I'm rushing into getting an enclosure and haven't done my research, and second, I came here for information; not indoctrination! I've been doing 6-8 hours of research every day for a few months about these animals, and no, my observations are not because I don't yet own a BP. I read and I watch, and I have critical thinking skills with which to process that information. I'm consulting way more sources than just here and Youtube.

If you have something practical to offer that's fine but spare me the "newby smackdown" bit. This is not a school yard, a sandbox, or a prison.
