    Welcome! This is a really helpful and friendly group - I'm glad you joined and hope you feel free to ask any questions you need to.

    One thought: in my experience, the 'kits' sold by most of the big chain pet shops don't necessarily have your best choices for setting up the enclosure for a Royal python. If you're struggling with adding a photo, maybe just list what came with the enclosure in terms of substrate, gauges, etc.? I know a lot of those kits don't include a thermostat, which is critically important for regulating heat, some include aspen substrate which may not be your best choice for maintaining the humidity you need, and some even include 'heat lamps' or red lights that are also not your best option.

    It can be frustrating to have spent the money on a kit only to find that several components need to be replaced, and I know you're trying to do the best you can for your new snake - we're here to help out as much as we can.
