Check your local Craiglist, at least my area has a ton of cheap vivs and many young BPs available.

For a first snake I would avoid a hatchling/baby & get something just a little older (~6-months) with routine handling & several meals taken - your call though...

Make a checklist: viv, UTH, other heat source, acurite thermometers, temperature gun, etc. Most of that stuff is inexpensive, I would plan to spend the most on a decent thermostat like a Herpstat
I will probably useing a tub at first anyways so I don't know why I asked. lol

Okay, understood.

Depends, sorry.

And will do.

Thank you for the advice and replying.
