Congratulations on your new Pit. They're very different from BPs and a lot more fun if you ask me. I have 2 bulls and they're both awesome! My female is 7 and my male is 6. They are fairly active snakes so I agree that large enclosures are good for them. Mine are often out in the open so they make good display snakes too. I keep them a little bit cooler than my boas and pythons. I like a hot spot of 84-86 but mine rarely use their hot spots even when digesting a meal. If you're getting a baby I'd suggest feeding every 5-7 days for the first year since they have pretty fast metabolisms. Their poop stinks worse than any of my other snakes by far. Mine are both good feeders but my male will go off food during the winter and breeding season. I hope you really enjoy your new critter and please share pictures. 🙂
