    New Snake!

    Hello everybody, i just recently bought my first ball python. its a baby normal, it's gender is unknown! needless to say i'm extremly excited, and was just wondering if anybody has any tips/suggestions. I have it in a very nice set up tank with a UTH and a daytime heatlamp, the temp gradient is 82-88.i'm using aspen bedding and have 2 hides (one on each side). i did a lot of research before buying my Ball, but i was just wondering if there is any other tricks/tips anyone knows. any advice is greatly appreciated! thanks!
