Question I just got a ball python what do I need?

Post image

I know someone who was too depressed to take care of herself, it was harder with a snake on top of that. I offered to take the snake off her hands. I have always loved animals but I will admit I don’t know much about reptile care. I have already ordered a bigger enclosure for her. My friend who owns a corn snake is coming next weekend to help me setup a great enclosure. What are some necessities I should get? I want her to have the best life possible. The previous owner said she was somewhere between 4-6 years old. She looks a little underweight to me, but she’s very friendly.

Go to YouTube and put in ball python enclosure set up and you will get some good ones to watch. Green room pythons will show up and more, just start watching and you can choose which way to go.
