Getting a baby bp, few questions

[Polamalu]

My first advice would be to make SURE that the snake is well-started...it should have a feeding record (having eaten at least 3 times for the breeder) for best results,
before you bring it home. Then, don't handle it until it is feeding regularly for you...at least 3 times at normal (weekly) intervals. Feeding is "job 1" for baby snakes.

Many who breed BPs recommend smaller "tubs" for hatchlings. It's up to you whether or not you follow their recommendations...you can check out Deborah's guide
("Stewart Reptiles") on this site, & I'm pretty sure she'll tell you that Exo Terra is too big. I've kept BPs before but didn't breed them...I have lots of snake experience
but BPs aren't my specialty. Glass tanks have pros & cons, & while I personally prefer them, most here (that keep BPs) do not, but you CAN make them work.

If you use a glass tank of any sort, keep in mind that hatchling snakes rely on instincts & have many predators in the wild, so they rely on hiding to survive. Big open
spaces are threatening to them, so if you use a larger size tank, it needs plenty of cover (some say "clutter") & not less than 2 hides of proper proportions for your BP.
Hides must NOT be open at both ends (those half-round tree-bark tunnels are decor, NOT suitable hides), & the only doorway should be small enough that you cannot
see into the hide.

It may help to cover the back, sides & bottom with paper so the snake feels more "privacy". Fear is not an appetite stimulant & baby snakes need to eat well to grow.

It's critical that you set up the tank (with proper heat & humidity for a BP) for at least a week before you bring the snake home, for best results; that way, if it's not
right you won't be disturbing (scaring!) your snake while you try to make adjustments. And in case you have to buy something additional, your snake won't be living
with conditions that are sub-standard while you fix things.

You'll NEED heat source(s) (maybe more than one, depending on the temperatures in your room or home, & depending on whether or not you insulate the tank).
You'll need an accurate way to measure both the temps. (a "heat gun") and the humidity (the little stick-on gauges they sell in pet-stores are NOT accurate).

I've raised LOTs of snakes...in glass tanks that open on top...it's not an issue. There are ways to signal recognition no matter how you approach a snake, & most BPs
are very reluctant to bite anyway.

Thank you for your input. I'm already aware of all the supplies I need and what to look for in a baby snake. I have a herpstat 2 sitting in my closet. I didn't plan on bringing the snake home until I had everything else I needed.
