    1) have your b.p in a correct size tub/viv..i cant say what yours would be because i dont no the size/age of your b.p

    2) THERMOSTAT make sure your using one of those on what ever you heating your b.p tub/enclousure with..thats a must!!

    3) use the digital thermomiter's because stick on one are rubbish..again thats a must

    4) make sure you have temps correct 83-85 cold side 90-95 hot side

    5) feed correct size food , power feeding is not good because the b.p could end up going off food

    i hope this has helpd you in some way , i wasnt too sure what you really wanted to no so i though id just tell you afew thing's tho you might already no this..

    Awesome, there arn't many people on this forum from iowa like me, welcome to the forums. Can you tell us what you want to know b/c asking for "advice" is a very broad area. Pics would be aweosme if you can (snake, cage, etc)

    I would recommend you to read the caresheet on this forum and then come back with specific questions so we can guide or help you if you need to. Oh and
