Hi,

She looks pretty dude,

As long as you are satisfied the tank and equipment can keep it set up right and you like the animal I would say you could use it as a little dinking project.

If you don't need the equipment then its probably not worth buying duplicates - and I'd try feeding her in her tank if you got her. Check out some of the threads on here asking about feeding tubs for more considered opinions than mine though.

It also might be an idea (assuming he knows how to use those probes and you don't) to avail yourself of the chance to learn from someone with experience.

If you decide it's worth it you could make sure shes big enough and see if you could breed her to find out if she is a genetic stripe or not. Just depends if that is something that interests you really.

Bottom line it doesn't sound hideously expensive for a snake and set up assuming it all works well enough to keep her correctly.

And if you like her thats probably the most important thing.
