welcome to the forums...
if you have any questions about set ups, ball pythons, or anything, don't hesitate to ask.
one thing i would mention as a suggestion.... look online for reptile supplies before going to petco or petsmart. ask for pictures of people setups, or how they have things set up. you can save a lot of money by using little tips and tricks that experienced keepers and collectors use.
and most of all... HAVE FUN!
