Pretty damn sure I can prove that Petsmart/Petco comment wrong. My baby under 100gr when I got her from PETSMART, she's a beautiful healthy girl who eats like a pig.Originally Posted by samthemanz3n
Pretty awesome I still live with my parents because I'm 13 so I have to keep my ball pythons out side in the shed but in florida temperature here are perfect for breeding, feeding, everything.
Anyway I say if it is your first ball python get one over 100 grams and from a reptile expo or a local breeder never buy from petco or petsmart those BP's are wild caught don't eat and die.
Start with a 10 gallon wait till they are 400 grams and then throw them in a 20 or 30 gallon either is fine for a adult females can be put in 40's because they get bigger.
I like prekilled rodents over frozen thawed and live heat lamp at 60 watts heat pad a2 hides one cold one hot eco earth mix or aspen. Of course you need a water bowl and throw in some decorations you can probably stay below $100 dollars easily.
Ohh and last thing get a clip in lid that secures tightly because they will escape if you don't use any clips
Congrats
Exercise caution with blanket statements like that. Oh and please, no throwing of the poor snake into a 20/30/40 gallon tank... Poor devils.
p.s. what kind of thermostat are you running for set up up outside?
