its a disease!

well i went to the pet shop today and just hatched ball pythons were there i had to hold one of course. when i started getting that 'i have to bring it home feeling' i high tailed it out of there. half way home i turned around and went back! i now own a ball python. i pick it and tank up tommorrow. i read the care sheet and such but it is very minimal. any help wouldbe greatly appreciated. by the way is there a help line for snake obsessed people? like for people with a gambling problem?
just yesterday i put felt on the tops of all 8 hide boxes so they are comfy when they bask on top of them. now back to the store for more felt
im gonna name him peanut cause his head is shaped like a planters peanut.

i love BPs i own two of them they are very easy to care for i keep my tanks around 75-80 ambient temp and around 85-90 basking and they aren't stressed all and i also got them a big water bowl so that they may soak in it and such. They are very lazy slow moving snakes and dont have a lot of activity.....in the cage.......but out of the cage they are big explorers. So good luck. You should love em

well i got 4 redtails. from 7 feet to 2 feet. i keeop thier temps at 88 and basking about 91. they have a cool side that is about 77. mine all eat well. but i learned to feed them in seperate tanks then the one they live in. one of my snakes associate the tank opening to food and that is not a good thing. RTB are real friendly and love to sit on my lap while i watch TV or im on my comp. one even takes naps with me. they are the reason i so love snakes!
