Yesterday, I purchased my first ball python from my local pet shop (Pangea Pets) in Miami,Fl. As some may know, yesterday Miami was hit by tropical storm Isaac. But since I had been waiting for weeks on getting my first snake I could wait no longer. My Dad and I trekked down to the store in the middle of the storm and decided to buy a beautiful male mojave BP. I have him in a 10 gallon fish tank with 2 hides, one on the warm side and one on the cold side. My warm side temperature is about 85-86 degrees and my cold side about 74-77 degrees. I heat my tank using an under tank heat pad called a Repti Therm wit the thermostat that is the 500r reptitherm (whatever that is supposed to be). He has been exploring and climbing around the tank not showing any signs of disease or much stress either . But I do have to admit... I held him a few times. What am I doing wrong? What is the whole 0.1 male pastel listing thing that some people use? And also how do you post pictures?

Thank you
