Fairly new owner myself, going on about 3 months now. Number 1 tip/advice is never use a UTH without a thermostat. My zoo med UTH unregulated ran 158F at the glass and would burn a snake if not properly regulated by a thermostat.
Next bit of advice is to not get to freaked out about every little thing. These guys seem keep you guessing at times. Don't freak out if your snake refuses a meal, they just seem to do that sometimes to mess with your head 😊
This is a great place for advice and knowledge, but also remember these guys seem to have their own little personalities, go SLOW with your handling to lesson stress, 3 months in my snake has just now really gotten somewhat comfortable with handling.
