Ok... Update. Well looks like I will be starting my much anticipated collection sooner than I had planned. I have the "Fever" now after being back on here again (BP.net) It is contagious, this love for reptiles. I will be beginning with babies and will do two tub set ups thanks to this very detailed thread by Vypyrz http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...e-Basics-*DUW*
I ordered a Hydrofarm t-stat and flexwatt today as well as got and Acurite and tub. But I would like to know if this sounds correct.
I bought two 25 qt steralites 24" in length, 5 foot of 3" flexwatt, aluminum foil tape, and will be using newspaper as substrate. They till be set up lengthwise on a table that is 54" long. In an are that I can easily control the temp with a heater if needed. I will still be ordering the T-8 later on but realize that babies wont need that much space.. YET. I should have everything in and set up in about a week or so and will post pics as soon as that happens. So please let me hear your thoughts and opinions on my proposed set up. It will be at least another month before I get my babies so I will have plenty of time to make changes. Also I may be getting an awesome deal from local breeder / fellow BP.netter / friend ... who is da bomb ... but am so heartbroken that I will not be getting my dream snake to start off with ( hottness in the form of ann Enchi Spider). Thanks for all and any help / suggestions / criticisms in advance
