Now for the bad news. The habitat you bought is not really suitable for a ball python. For starters, if you bought the heat lights as well, you may as well return those now. Heat lamps do nothing for your ball except ruin the humidity. There are a lot of details to proper habitat and care, you can find it all in one place here: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...s%29-Caresheet

If you need any details worked out, that is what we are here for. Petco is not the best place to buy a pet, but if you only have limited options, a lot of us started with a pet shop snake.

Thanks alot! the lamps actually are included in the kit. ive seen places say digial thermometers is best and thats not the kind it comes with. i read reviews on the habitat after i bought today lol. it was the last one and i didnt want to miss the sale but im tempting to return it. Im wondering what everybody has there tanks sitting on. i know the UTH is on the bottom so what could it actually safely sit on?
