I don't think I will have to upgrade tubs for awhile once I get my ball python. I have a 25 qt sterilite tub. That will give me time to convince my dad about tubs. To clarify, my tub has lots of "decorations" in it. Two hides, water bowl, leaves, branch, wooden log, corkscrew wood. I have the majority of my supplies already. Just need cleaner (any suggestions? I was looking at F10SC), herpstat 1, a scale, substrate, and of course the ball python.

Another thing that kinda makes me upset - my dad wants me to get a bp from pet store because it's "cheaper." No way am I letting that happen. I look at quality of life, and I can tell you those pet store animals weren't bred from that.
