ball basics
well I am almost ready to pick up my first ball
it is beautiful, very dark black and golden tan, I'm pumped
I have been reading care recommendations at www.ballpython.ca and am planning to make the enclosure to their specs, but please tell me if these are incorrect or correct
hot:90 degrees
cool:75-80
humidity: low ambient w/ humid hide
I just want to make sure these are right before I get the snake

I would put the cool side at 80-82
make sure you have two hides, and you only need a humid hide if in shed.
good luck

If you keep the humidity around 50% when NOT in shed and give it a humid hide when IN shed you should be fine. Also hot spot can be 90-95, and cool side 80-85.
Read more than one caresheet on BP's. I have to have read more than 20 and still don't know everything I want to know about them.

Though Mark's caresheet is top-notch, I would definitely reccommend reading a couple more just to get some varied opinions. I would also reccommend picking up a book or two on the captive husbandry of ball pythons. A good reference book can be worth it's weight in gold to a beginner. Good luck.
Sapphire; only 20? (I'm just joshing).

Sapphire, you know that airflow tube-delivery system that old offices used to employ for delivering mail around the office? I've built a giant one, big enough for humans, and have it hooked up to most major cities in North America.
