Re: your favorite source for care sheets?
Going to have to agree with DJC here. When I was researching my first I did research everywhere, which by the way is what lead me to this forum. I found that many sources produced a lot of differing opinions as well as some arguments for things that were on separate spectrum. For instance with my sand boa is it better to keep him on sand or aspen. This can be frustrating but what you will get is a number of parameters that are if not exact then they are close. Such as temperature and humidity requirements, size of the animal when fully grown. General Temperament of the animal.
End of the day though after you have the basics of care, it seems to me that each animal has his or her own personality and that comes with some of their own preferences so observance of your own personal animal on what they prefer, higher on their typical temp range or lower, loves being held and nosy vs prefers more solitude, uses humidity boxes vs doesn't use them, and the best one yet eats one mouse or two :P.
I get the desire to be the perfect parent, that would be me, but I'm realizing at some point you have to observe and see what your little snake wants.
Good luck!
