Re: Buying supplies for new snake
You definitely want to have your enclosure set up BEFORE you bring your snake home. It takes time to get your temps and humidity dialed in right.
You also don't want to bring everything home and find out something isn't functioning properly. What if your thermostat isn't working? Or your heat source isn't working?
As a first time keeper, do yourself a HUGE favor and set everything up ahead of time. The excitement of a new pet could very quickly turn into an overly stressful situation if you're not prepared and run into issues.
Lastly, put the animal's needs first. Snakes require time to acclimate to their new enclosures. It's a stressful situation for them being moved around and being in new hands and new environments. All this stress will only be compounded if the enclosure isn't properly setup and the temps are fluctuating, you're constantly at the enclosure making adjustments, constantly checking on your new snake because you're worried, etc...
So, in closing, do yourself and your new pet a favor and set your enclosure up at least a week before you get the snake.
