Mom buys you a snake and you complain about it

Heh.. I agree with Tunechi, my parents never bought me an animal for a gift... That said, I think it's OK for the temp to be a little too low, just now too high...That's what you need to watch for (in terms of adjusting the thermostat).

Good luck!

Just keep monitoring temps, but it sounds like you've got a good start, honestly! Just don't let your temps get too high, but you've got them in a good spot now, it sounds like. Congrats on your new addition!

oh ok and i wasn't complaning about getting the snake just was worried about the temp's and not being ready for it that's all. i'll post a pic of it in a little bit i have 1 when it was wondering around it's all cozy and hiding in it's hide atm

Huge relief The way threads with such a title usually go would be more like:

well i have been working on setting up my cage i had just received everything yesterday to set it up haven't got around to it and my mom told me she would disown me unless i stay away from snakes

Congratulations Your mom bought you a spider ball python

If unsure about the heating, just bump up your room temperature a bit and switch off the heating. That will buy you some time and keep the snake safe while you properly set up the heating. If your mom got you a surprise present BP, better not burn it

Breathe, relax, and then use punctuation. These little things help a lot to get sentences structured. I dont understand the part about bricks. Also, do you have a temp gun? i mean, infrared thermometer?

My father has a phobia of snakes and my mother hates them,she told me she will never house sit for my cats as long as I have snakes,lol,but she will,my parents are great. If not I got friends who will

But yeah,pretty awesome of your mom.

[herculies]

ok i don't have a infrared temp gun yet it's ordered and on it's the last item i was actually waiting for

yes my mom has a phobia of snakes also she told me i could get 1 for my birthday and well here it is hope it's not too large and no name yet

Congrats on your new kiddo! It's awesome that your mom bought the snake for you. Mine keeps telling me that I shouldn't get more snakes, but seeing how I'm on my own /shrug. Post a pic when you can!
