I know a tong of people keep their ball pythons in 2ftx2ft cages lined with a single sheet of paper and nothing more than a ceramic dog bowl or maybe a cardboard hide, but that's not how I like to keep my snakes.
The reason I asked as many questions as I did was because,

A. You posted a picture of a tank you are going to put an animal in and I noticed some things that I thought could be setup better (constructive criticism)
B. You mentioned how you got the tank for $12 which was alarming because a lot of individuals get stuff cheap and decide they have to fill it ASAP without much regard to setting it up properly (fitment of the lid being another thing, there have been plenty of "help me catch my snake" threads because people don't like using the proper stuff, because they get other stuff cheap)
C. The OP was fairly blank in regards to talking about the essentials that you can assume others would ask about (heating etc)
D. You asked "What do you guys think?" (clearly looking for input)

I wasn't trying to be offensive and im sorry if you took it that way, after lurking and posting here for a few years Ive made my fair share of mistakes and learned plenty from the other posters and like to try to pass along what ive been taught to help owners and animals alike. (im still learning/making mistakes since I recently entered the boa realm)

Again, everything looks nice but when you are dealing with reptile enthusiasts (especially ones that already have a bad rep due to a lot of negligent owners) your going to get a lot of questions ensuring everything is in proper order.

Congrats on the new girl. She's a cute little thing. Happy herping.
