Thanks everyone. Baby too came from one of our local pet stores (the good one as Mike and I won't buy from the other - went in there yesterday and had to "mention" to the guy working there that the three baby snakes marked "albino burmese pythons" were in fact "ball pythons"...geesh!). The pet store we use is quite good with their stock, especially one guy there who really loves reptiles.

We as well are not sure of Baby's hatch date....2 1/2 months to 3 months ago was what we were told but she seems in great shape and I'm just thrilled to have "her".

To be honest, we wouldn't have had near the confidence in getting this baby snake or setting her up if we hadn't found a couple of great forums online that not only answered our many questions but steered us to some wonderful care sheets and other information.

Special thanks to all those that recommended the Accurite. At only $14.88 from Walmart it certainly is cost effective and is doing a super job!
