Newbie questions! Please help

Welcome! I have never purchased online, so unfortunately can't help you there. I'd highly recommend reading the stickies on BP husbandry, everything you need should be in there but feel free to keep asking!

My enclosure for BP: Currently have a 20 gallon long tank, she's about a year old. I use an under tank heater with a thermostat that keeps the temp above the glass no higher than 90. I have the screen wrapped in foil and duct tape ON THE OUTSIDE to keep in heat and humidity (have a 1"x1" cut out on each side for ventilation, and a circle cutout for CHE fixture) . I use a Ceramic Heat Emitter in the middle to keep ambients around 80. I use cypress mulch as substrate, and have 1 hide over the UTH and 1 on the cool side. I use a small water bowl that she drinks from, and a large one under the CHE that brings up humidity. Also have a fogger on a timer that keeps humidity up, saves me from daily misting. I use an accurite indoor/outdoor thermometer that shows humidity (keep it 60-65%, and bump when in shed) as well so I can get temps at both ends.

In the next 6 months or so I plan on upgrading to PVC, will make heating and humidity a lot easier to maintain.

One thing that is important, non negotiable, and pretty much never mentioned by pet stores, ALL HEATING DEVICES NEED TO BE REGULATED WITH A THERMOSTST.

Hope this helps, again, welcome!

1. this is a personal preference and only something you would know after owning a few. i have gotten my BP's in as hatchlings, juvie's and adults. i would recommend for a new keeper an established young juvenile BP - something between between 150-300grams. still small and cute w/ baby colors but should not be a hassle to feed.

2. i have bought various sources - directly from a breeder website, online classifieds, this forum and expo's. regardless of where u buy from - do some research on the seller by checking our the BOI over on Fauna or here on Bp.net’s inquiry or even google. Be sure the seller will take good care of u and the animal.

3. i would recommend a tub or PVC enclosure for a new keeper. These enclosures help the new keeper maintain heat, humidity and overall husbandry a lot better. or u can get a rack setup if u plan on owning more than 1.

Good luck on your search and don't forget to post pix of your new pet!

Edit: did u make that super cute gif?

Hi! I have another question lol oh and I didn’t make that gif, I got it off Pinterest
When you’ve bought your snakes online, do they get shipped to your door or do you have to go to fedex to pick up? I know that’s a weird question I was just curious

Excellent! If it’s not too annoying may I ask where you bought from online? (If you answered this already I’m very sorry there’s just a lot of info coming my way lol)

personally i go pickup my snakes at the FedEx hub itself, first thing in the morning at 8am right when they open. i don't wanna wait a few extra hours for it to be delivered. part of that is b/c i'm impatient and part of it is i think the snake would be more comfortable to get outta the warehouse, truck and box as soon as possible lol. but i did take delivery once - to my office!
