Thank you! I'm in Missouri, near Kansas City. We decided to put him on a coffee table, still in my bedroom, but on a different wall than the television. Just have to rearrange the living room a little bit now.
How should I insulate the tank? Would something like cardboard work? Or blankets draped against all sides?
I found the original ad on Craigslist. It looks like the tank was maybe in a restaurant. Or maybe a bar? I can see a red light, so I'm assuming that is a heat lamp. I know red heat bulbs are a big no-no with beardies. :/ Other than that, you can't tell much of anything. Once the snake is safely out of their possession, I'll see if I can email them and ask them some questions. I don't want to upset them and have them change their minds and "put him down" before he's been picked up tomorrow, and not throw in the "free ball python" with the aquarium purchase. Based on the little bit of info my friend got, they didn't seem to be taking much interest in him. People are so strange.
