Welcome and best wishes Liz. Nice looking BP .

Oh maybe I'm wrong then, lol. That's just what everyone's told me to do. I'm just giving advice based off what breeders and hobbiests have told me! But yeah, I guess you're right. I still like to have big bowls so that when they soak I know something is wrong. Something that would've taken me much longer to notice if they hadn't been able to soak. So I guess it's personal preference!

That is a good point. I keep mine on paper so its easy to spot mites. I've only had to battle them one time and they were never to be seen again!

I noticed mites due to one of my snakes sitting in her bowl. That was like a month ago and I'm still battling them, ugh.

Liz - welcome to the forum and congrats on your scaly friend. Tanks are not impossible, but one of the first places you should look is here: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...-With-Pictures!

The important parts of this guide are a - the heat pad and thermostat and b - the covering of most of the top to keep humidity in.

Best of luck and be sure to ask lots of questions!

Thanks! Read over that guide a few times. I have a heat pad, just waiting for the thermostat to come in the mail, and I currently cover 2/3 of the top with a dish towel that I dampen as needed to keep the humidity up. That's okay, right?
