im telling you, do not buy something like a snake from a local pet shop. they will give you all the wrong shit right off the bat and you will spend more fixing it then doing it right the first time
pet store told me to get a mesh lid, heat light, and this mulch looking shit for bedding. all wrong. they need a VERY humid environment, so you will need to get a solid lid, and bedding that if it gets on the rats during eating, the snake can digest. also, the pet store tried to get me to feed it mice when they were out of rats, when in reality, if you get them on rats, and put them back on mice, its hard as fuck to get them BACK on rats
just do it right the first time, talk to terry.
