So my wife was born 24 years ago tomorrow. And she has been aching for a dog.... But being in the pet shop se spied some BP's. She is completely new to snakes. Iv been exposed to snakes of all kinds my entire life. Just never had any of my own. Being a soldier, these are a little too temperamental for all of the moves. Now were in the last place I will be posted to, or at least thats my plan

We have 2 18" BP's, I have not been able to really identify their pattern. We have them in a 20 gal tank. that is 12" x 12" x 40"-ish. Its got aspen substrate, water dish, UTH, fake plant, and a little cave. We have had them a little over 18 hours now, and they seem happy and active. No striking, no "S" shape pose, and will slither up onto my hand. I had to add a heat lamp as the mat just wasn't cutting it last night. I life in Victoria BC, so its a fairly warm compared to the rest of Canada.

Is there anything that I should have covered??
