Hi!
I just purchased a ball python (vanilla hypo/ghost) this past weekend. He is a male and I believe about two years old - it was the breeder's pet originally (he said that he was about a year old, but then went on to say that he was born in April of 2014, so I think the first part was a slip-up) - measuring at around 29 inches. I have a 20 gallon long tank with a water bowl at one end (big enough for him to fit) and an under-tank heating pad on the other side with a hiding place in the middle. He spends nearly all of his time in the tank (I do take him out and handle him, though not a great deal as to not stress him out) hiding, should I be concerned? Also, I won't be able to get an in-tank thermometer/probe until Wednesday or Thursday at the latest, so other than turning the heat up in my house (which I did), what else can/should I do to keep a consistent temperature? Also, is there anything else I'm missing and should get? Should I purchase something for him to climb on? If there are any other tips or tricks or things I should get, please let me know!
Can you post a picture of what you have ,that will help and also a picture of what you ordered ??
