Getting a BP in 2 weeksish, trying to learn as much as I can.

Hmmm, you've had a snake before so why are you asking questions about how YOU should take care of YOUR snake....

I had a corn snake not a ball python. Are you really trying to condescend me for wanting to take the best care of my animal?

You'd be surprised, its kind of what he does around here. But to stay on topic, OP this is by far one of the friendliest places to gather information on Ball Pythons, give or take 1 or 2 people. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Also I would highly recommend grabbing some books on the species, personally I have almost 10 different books regarding Ball Pythons, arm yourself with knowledge before you take the plunge.

good for you. I wish everyone would do their research before buying a species that they haven't kept before. I researched for months and bought several books on snakes (it was the bad old days before the internet was very useful) before purchasing my first snake. Through that process I learned enough to know that it was something I felt I could and wanted to do.
