Okay so I just got today my first ever ball python, she's really beautiful and the old owner gave me the vivarium with the snake. One problem though, the enclosure is kinda filthy and it really needs to be cleaned. The condition of the vivarium is okay and all but yeah, it's just really dirty. Tomorrow I'll be driving to the store to get a container to put the snake in for when I clean everything and also I'll definately need a new mat. Now I have some questions though. I haven't tried to handle the snake yet because I'm not aware weather I should wait or not. Would it normally be okay if I would try to move the snake tomorrow to clean the enclosure? Another question, should I watch out for any signs or symptoms of certain conditions the snake may have because he's been inside a dirty enclosure for a while?

I may have more questions after but I'll let you guys answer these for now!

Thanks in advance!
