Do's and Dont's to Ball python Keeping

[Tortoise man]

Hi everyone
I and probaly many others who come to this site, who are either
in the process , or might have just gotten their first snakes, are wondering if you all can share your experience on some simple do's and don'ts to snake husbandry. We Know there are many books and caresheets but they dont really give you all the info from a personal point of view.
We all know that what is to be posted is just an opinion so I hope it doesn't cause to much conflict.
Thank you all that participate, I know we can benifit from all the helpful info
Vinny.
